Very nice, in fact way to nice for you to take out duck hunting:shock: I'll bring my GH 16 w/32 inch bbls to Drakes if Dale gets them back to me by then if not I can fall back on a 32 inch 16ga hammer gun. If you'll allow for 2 inches less barrel I can bring a 30 inch DHE 20. In comp I don't want Mr. Dwyer complaining of a pellet adv from 16vs 20:nono::rotf::rotf:

That's okay Rich. I'll be shooting a long barreled 10 gauge! :bigbye:

COB
Small gage =410 & 20. Large gage =16,12,10. The barrel length does not change the category. I would be happy though to shoot my 30" steel barreled 20ga hammer
against any of your 16 gage hammer for a small, say (16-20=4) handicap for 50? Winner gets a silver dollar? :rotf: bring lots of silver Lone Ranger.:bigbye:
David

That's the spirit David. Where would Rich and I be able to spend those silver dollars in N. Carolina?:)

This sounds a little interesting! gary

Rich, a update on the Matie gun it is at the engravers now, trying to settle on the type, vine, leaf, scroll, probably at least 4months out but cannot wait! it will be a 16ga steel barrel AA hammer gun when finished, Gary

Stay tuned Gary, we're just getting warmed up. We're going to have a blast in April. Why don't you join us?

Gentlemen
There is a great brewery, Aviator, with its own smoke house restaurant 6 miles from Drakes. I can attest that their beer is great as are the ribs. I think I am going to stay in Fuquay, so join me for a brew and I will treat with my newly won silver! Hi Ho Silver!!:rotf:

Gary it sounds like mattie's gun is going to be wonderfull and I look forward to seeing it. You should plan on coming to drakes during the Southern, you will not be dissapointed.

David you forgot the 28ga. Do you have a 410? If so I can bring one also. I prefer good old folding money as all those silver dollars will wear a hole in my jeans:rotf: As to the 16-20= 4???:eek: your not keeping up with your math skills, use a calculator:p My 20 load is 3/4 oz but don't let that scare you:whistle:

David;
It might be worth losing a couple pieces of silver just so you can treat. Sounds like a great place to eat. Let us know where you are staying in Fuquay.
