Sweet Li’l Lifter

I live nowhere near Bridgeport, but, whatever it takes to hit 34K

About 50 miles north of Bridgeport?… just a WAG.

Ooops… I apologize Edgar, I thought Bloomfield was south of Hartford… I was so wrong!

Dean, Sophie my English setter and I would be most happy to take a bird hunt this Fall with you. Sophie is steady to wing.

Mr. Dean or Mr. Edgar,

Have either of you checked the pattern of the gun since the barrels had been cut? I noticed in the letter that the barrels shot the same when tested at Meriden but wonder what the pattern was like after the barrels were shortened. I have heard that when some barrels were cut that the patterns became erratic. I have one double with barrels that are shorter than the book states the shotgun came with. Just wondering. Happy that you have your shotgun back Mr. Dean.

I've never checked the pattern but for some grazy reason this little gun really reaches out there.
At Addieville about a dozen or so years ago Dave Suponski, with his little Lifter 16 with cut barrels and a straight grip, and I using this little Lifter, tested them one against the other and we were soundly breaking clays out over 40 yards.
Also, to those of you who are familiar with the last big bore station where the clays come sailing off the hiiitop presenting a looong high shot I broke 4 out of six... or was that a four report pair station...? In any case this little sawad-off 16 made a very good showing.

Kind of looking forward to the first Photo Friday in October with a pic of that 16 with a woodcock or grouse or two...

These are from when I owned it several years ago...
My grandson Cam, was seven or eight at that time. He's 20 now.
He blew out his ACL two weeks ago playing college lacrosse.
