The Ultimate Duck Gun- Boy Howdy!!
It is April 1912- and my first wish would be that Captain Smith had chosen a different course and the RMS Titanic had docked safely in NYC Harbor. My exchange business takes me to the Parker Sales Room in NYC, and in honour of my safe arrival, I order a 12 gauge DHE with, surprise- Titanic Steel barrels-I would "splurge" and get two sets of barrels- one pair 30" Modified and Improved Modified choked with 3" chambers, the second set 32" Improved Modifed and Full, for pass shooting. I would also use the 30" set for pheasants- No 2 size frame, double triggers of course with a slightly larger trigger guard bow for cold weather gloved hand shooting, non-automatic safety, as I would also use this "Old Reliable" for live birds, half pistol grip or Prince of Wales style, solid red Silvers recoil pad, LOP from front trigger 14 and 3/16", 1 & 1/2" DAC, 2 &1/8" DAH, NO cast on or off, and 1 & 1/2" down pitch on the 32" tubes, measured at muzzle with a 90% plumbed door jamb-It sure is fun to dream, isn't it, and the price of admission is quite reasonable.
