I love the small bores and that Ithaca is a sweet looking gun. I know the whereabouts of a nice Iver Johnson Skeeter 410 but if the Gods are shining I'll have my own 410 Porn delivered to the Southern:bowdown:

I also have a line on a mint ithaca NID 28 just in case anyone might be interested.

Beautiful little guns. Not up on the Foxies, is that one a SBT? Just to bring in the riffraff, here's a little Turkish one I bought from Jaqua's a couple of years ago. It weighs an ounce or so over 5 pounds on a triple 0 frame with 30" barrels; SST but no ejectors. The dimensions are right and with the long barrels, isn't whippy. It regularly breaks targets from the 16 yard line and has killed a number of Phez withn its 35 yard limit. Shown here in comparison with my NH, 3 frame, 32" 10ga; not made for a small person.

I have only shot a .410 a few times, but when I do the report is deafening, at least to my tender ears. They are just about shot. The load must come out supersonic because it cracks like a 45/70.

And an Elsie

Bruce, What that Enders 410 a custom engraving job?

Small bores are of course, all the rage today. I need a 28 gauge. Parker of course, invented the gauge and I'd love to get a Parker 28.

I have a friend who owns a gazillion acres of land in eastern Oregon. He only allows 28's or smaller on the place. I need one to hunt with him.

The 28 is a great guage and one of my favorites for Grouse and Woodcock not to mention my favorite upland bird the bobwhite Quail.

Ahem... no, Parker Bros. did not invent the 28 gauge. Parker Bros. however, may have been one of the first American gunmakers to produce a gun in 28 gauge.

Steve,

If you can get us on a great place to hunt, I can bring 28-gauge guns, shells, and a bird dog!! Don't have a Praker Bros. 28-gauge though!!

Dave

I'll jump on that wagon also. Two Parker 28's and a good bird dog, and lots of shells:bigbye:
