Default A Work In Progress

This is the 12 gauge D Lifter that was gifted to me by Austin Hogan when I went to his home when he was on his deathbed.

The Parker-made Laminated Steel barrels are going out today to be refinished.

I sincerely hope they come back looking like another set that have been refinished by the guy I’m sending Austin’s barrels to.

Trying to post pics again…

Dean, I never met Austin, but have read your many accounts of him (and some articles he wrote in old copies of PP). For what it’s worth, I’m sure he’d be pleased to know you’re caring for his gun and to some degree, his legacy.
