Rich ,I forgot to mention ,Sounds like you had a Pretty Good Day out Yourself ! CONGRATS. on the nice Hunt with The Gunners Gun !

Too bad they don't make spreaders for the 410 ,that would be the ticket ! I wish I had a local Smith that was good at measuring Choke ,Rich My gun is unbelievable on Birds ,did you talk with Chuck and see if he has any info. on the Chokes of my Parker as we discussed !

No I forgot that also but I can ask him as we will once again be in negotiations

Have you patterned yours? I remember you thought it was IC/M.

Russ;
Your mystery fruit is from a Sycamore but also could be from a hybrid called London Planetree introduced here years ago. Delicious when consumed with Wild Turkey 101

Rich ,I have never Patterned mine and the Galazan Brass Gauge measures it ,IC and Mod. but before I would recommend those Chokes ,Measurements would be wise ! I may be meeting with Chuck in the near future as well ,if he could measure the chokes ,I would gladly take it along and he could give us the measurements !

The seeds you are wondering about are from American Sycamore. I would be interested to know if the bird you shot had any in its crop.

Gary ,No Sycamore Seeds in the Crop , seems they were still hanging onto the tree ,I shot these couple down with my 20 Ga. I couldn't find even one on the Ground for inspection and the trees were full ! Russ

Morning Harold , I knew that Old fox had a lot more Hunting time left in her !The Gun feels great in hand ,must be those light Barrels ! Good Shooting ,was the first shot you took out of the new gun at a Grouse and you got it ,now that's impressive ! The only Clay shooting I have ever done was in the back yard ,Hand Thrower or Foot release Trap , I have never shot a " Formal " Round of Trap or Skeet or any of the Newer Games ,but I would enjoy giving it a Go ! Best ; Russ
