I had a restocked vhe and when the town old gunsmith sold me his parts the original stock was up there in the rafters,of course the vhe was long gone by then.He had a lot and I mean a lot of stocks that he had kept from restocks and the owners did not keep the original. I mated up a rare m70 with its original stock by calling the name on the work order. I wonder how many people kept the original back in the day,of course that was before everything became collectable \.

Dean,Please don,t show a picture of your butt tonight :duck:

It's very difficult to be serious around here :rolleyes:

I've seen the pile, it's amazing....

Don-The "Hidden Hollow Treatment" sounds very familiar as my CHE 20 is undergoing similiar surgery.

I shot the D hammer gun and did ok with it. Its off getting bent and twisted enough to fit me a little better. I think this twist and bend methodology will provide me with 3-4 extra targets and perhaps the Christmass goose

Goose? You ain't going goose hunting, don't lie to the boys like that.

I have shot me many a fowl just not recently...ok 15 years or so. I once had three Snow Geese dead in the air at the same time using a Browning A5.

I like waterfowl hunting but not with the non toxic shot of the era (steel) nor do I care to eat them. I would like to give the early Goose season a try with the D hammer gun I got from Don. I think it would be nice to put that #2 frame 12 and its tight chokes to work on a goose hunt.:shock:

It could possibly be arranged, but to hunt with me you'd probably have to cross the river. Our early season goose shooting in Michigan is spotty on good years and non existant in others.

At .017/.027 (if I recall correctly), I wouldn't call that D hammer "tightly choked" but it has shot its share of ducks, including a trip to Beaver Dam. For geese, Destry and I have Big Parkers...

Don I don't remember the exact constriction but its mod/tight mod so 17 & 27 is tight to me as I usually shoot .004 to .010 or the likes of skt/skt for Grouse and Pheasant.

DLH- A trip across the river sounds like fun. I will be in Wyoming chaseing deer and antelope the first of October. I have all the gear to hunt fowl...the waders might leak a little however.
