Geeeeeeze-Louizzzze, Mark...a storied duck gun burning powder once again, a doubles pin headed your way, a widgeon-only bag and a retriever bearing the name of the original owner? Next you'll tell us that Rod Serling (who BTW, is buried in Interlaken) was your loader!! How juicy can it get?

Get a couple boxes of the Federal Supreme 20 gauge 3" that are loaded with #2 buckshot and waylay a New York deer ���� Well atleast that's what I might do if it were in my possession . And more then likely I'd load the shells myself ��

Just had a chance to read the article about the "Hanna" gun in the Doublegun Journal. A great read and a great story. It's wonderful to see a great old gun with so much history still getting the job done.
Are there any books or online resources detailing the history of California duck clubs? Thanks, JDG |

I doubt all 32 inch barreled 20ga's are affiliated with a duck club. I became caretaker of just such a gun. It was ordered by a gentleman from San Francisco if I remember correctly. It's a straight grip BHE 20, 3 inch chambers and 32 inches of full choke barrels. One big difference between this and Marks gun is that mine is on an O frame while all the so called duck club guns I have seen reference to are 1 frame guns I haven't connected mine to a specific duck club....yet

Oh so very well said, Rich! As in, "straight grip and no safety does not a pigeon gun make", as so many would so wishfully have! I fairly bent myself into a pretzel trying to vet my 20 ga. 1 frame 32" DHE into a CA duck club gun (153XXX SN range) but there simply was no "there, there." Sometimes, they're just GUNS someone ordered that way!
