If you own a snowblower you undoubtedly are aware that accidents can happen when operating them. Every winter many, perhaps hundreds, lose their fingers when they stick their hand in the snowblower's chute to clear away clogged snow. Knowing this and being the super cautious person that I am, I have developed a technique where I tuck my trigger finger and wrap my thumb over it when sticking my hand in the chute to clear it out, so just in case I lose some fingers I will still have my one trigger finger--hence the gun's name..."Just In Case".

Besides the striking head-to-toe fiddleback, the cool thing about this stock is that it has two red grains that run longitudinally down both sides of it.

Beautiful wood Greg.

As an aside, the owner's manual that comes with every snowblower specifically states that the operator must shut off the machine before attempting to clear the chute and other areas of accumulated snow.

Best of all they kill birds... this 20ga repro has been all over the country with me, its had thousands rounds run through it, it never malfunctions, and it fits me like a bionic body part. I wish that who ever ends up with it could know all the joy that I have gotten from this gun. Many of my fondest memories with my friends were recorded with this gun in my hands. God bless your dad Richard, he did a great thing.

I guess I don't have a future of becoming a comedian, eh?:banghead:

Of course you do. I think it's really very funny that so many people think they can beat the known odds of losing fingers to the spinning impellers of snowblowers and a "Just in case" gun or even a voice controlled computer keyboard are comical concepts. :biglaugh:

And finally, a couple more of my favorite, the 12. Note barrel markings and chokes. This is a very versatile gun. Lengths are 28" and 26" as you might guess. The serial number does NOT contain SSS. It is a serious duck killer, In fact I made a tripple on gadwall with it once! One with the first barrel and two with the second as thery came in to my decoys.

So Pete which one is Wyatt's gun....:rotf:

Eventually, all of them Eric. He likes to shoot the 28 ga for sporting clays and he did well at trap with the 12 ga recently. I shoot the leftovers.
...and, those 20's kill ducks too! This is mine before the face lift.

I loaded these pictures a few months ago after making a purchase decision, but here they are again - three barrel A1 set - 26" and 28" 20 gauge barrels and 28" 16 gauge (Krieghoff) barrels. Ken Hurst engraved and signed. Still don't know the full story on this gun, Ken thinks he did the work on the gun around '90 or '91, but I don't think many (any?) A1's were sold in the white around that time, so...

Do the Krieghoff barrels have matching engraving and gold banding?

None of the barrels have a gold band, but all barrel engraving (barrel ends and wedges) are identical and all three sets of barrels are serial numbered to the gun, have the machining and are marked "A1 Special Custom Shop, NJ"
