hi ,what time are you going to portsmouth, you go past my house on the way, i get home from work at 3:30 if you want to stop by. scott

Thanks Scott. My appointment is at 10 AM and from there I plan to hit Kittery then Cabelas, but I will take a rain check on that and come down and shoot with you guys soon, Steve

If it's not raining tomorrow evening I am going to open the skeet fields at Major Waldron's at 5PM.

Sister Gun
 

Here is 84116, just 20 something guns earlier than yours. Also a 1 frame PH, but in 16ga. with 30" barrels.

Greg, very nice, I do love 16'! I bet thats a sweet gun to shoot!!

And Pete, I wish I could make it down tomorrow night, but can't. Let me know what night (S) you guys will be shooting next week though.

Update on the P gun. I just returned from the 'smith and got the particulars on my gun. The barrels are in great shape, minimum wall thickness of 38 & 36. Choked IM and a tight full. Chambers not lengthned, still original. I got 7Lb 14oz on my digital scale, but on his she weights 7Lb 4 Oz. Guess I better get a new scale. One barrel is fine but one has three small dents, I missed that, but they are pretty small. No pitting in either barrel. The worst news is that the "wiggle" in the barrels was a little worse than I thought. Off face and definately needs fixing. Bottom line is I left the gun to be put right. Dents will be raised, put back on face and fix the screws. Be there a couple of months. $100 for the dents and $350 to tighten up. Not bad in my mind. Now I just have to wait. :eek:

he does great work on the old SxS. i was just there last friday my self. scott

I feel your pain, waiting stinks but the results will be worth it. My NH 10ga barrels just arrived at Brad Bechelders shop yesterday. It will be 2 or 3 months but come next season it'll be lookin' good.

Scott, what are you having Steve do for you?

Pete, you barrels will look great when you get them. 10 gauge, ouch :bowdown:
