What I really want is the GHE 410 and GHE 28 together on GI right now. Need to see if someone will take a family member I don't like . . .

In my opinion (there's 2 cents wasted) the CSM Fox is a better value than the Parker in 410

My Fox was engraved by Richard Roy.

This was definitely some old Quail Hunters gun. Ordered into Atlanta Georgia and 1905. 26 inch barrel choke cylinder and mod. It weighs 6 pounds on the nose. No Quail round here but it works just fine on pheasant and grouse, oh yeah, DHE 16 O frame

My kind of thread -- quail guns! Gosh, there have been some beauties posted here so far. Here are some of my better-at-hitting-those-brown-bombshell guns that brought me luck this past season. All of these guns have drops that suit my shooting, even if the LOPs vary somewhat. They are light, because we walk a lot between chances on our wild Midwestern Bobs.
1. A Cogswell and Harrison 16 bore. This old gun has beautiful Damascus barrels of 30 inches, choked a bit tight, but will reach out and get that second bird (or, if you're like me, the second shot after you miss with the first one). It weighs under 6 lbs. and is stocked to shoot high (my way of shooting). 2. An 1890 Dickson trigger-plate round action 12 bore. OK, not a small bore, but I shoot very light loads (7/8 oz) out of this gun that weighs 6 lbs. 3 oz. with a 15" LOP and 29 inch original Damascus barrels (and open chokes). It also has high stock dimensions. 3. A CSC Fox XE 16 gauge. 29 inch barrels choked cylinder and .012" This gun weighs 5 pounds 13 oz. Custom stocked to my measurements, it shoots where I look...if I don't get too excited and mount it too quickly (which is often the case). 4. The best darn quail gun I've ever shot -- a DHE 20 bore with 30 inch barrels choked to shoot 55%/65%...and also high. It has a large wrist, and the beefier nose to the stock. Once I became accustomed to it, my other guns feel a bit odd in the hand. 5. This gun -- a DHE 00 frame 28 gauge -- has yet to be blooded. I'm waiting for just the right time and place (and to start missing with the DHE 20!) It has 26 inch barrels and a 2 1/2" DH, again, the way I like them.
