I think I’m gonna let Danny Patton preform his voodoo magic on the wood and bring it out a bit . And if that’s comes out looking good the Damascus barrels more than likely will make the trip to SC for some voodoo magic as well ! Maybe even once it’s done have a voodoo blessing and tap them with the chicken bones:whistle::rotf:

Well back to what was bought this year, First I sold several 20 ga Hammer guns, was the caretaker for quiet some time, now they reside in new homes and are well cared for! The new additions this year so far 12gauge A1 Spl, and a 20 ga A1 Spl up grade that was bought by Otis Odum according to the hang tag in 1981, Both guns from Josh, When he sends me photos I will post them, My camera met with a unfortunate death, fell of my gator and the disk I was pulling sort of chopped it up!

Those are some "Low Alphabet" guns you added. Looks like Josh has a really nice bunch of guns now.

I was allowed to shoot a pair at Hausemanns with the 20 lifter you recently liquidated ! Nice experience :cool:

The best laid plans of "Men of the Gun" often fall astray. I WAS doing great in liquidating some things I haven't shot and putting the money into some hunting adventures. To be honest the last couple of years have been pretty depressing and rather boring.
I left the Southern with three nice but not expensive guns, a DH 32 inch on a 2 frame, a 20ga Trojan and a very cool Winchester 1892 in 25/20. Years ago I sold a nice DHE 30 inch vent rib trap gun and now that I've discovered using 7/8th in a 12 and a modest supply of reloading components I thought I might like another one. I've been shooting some 12's for years mostly factory stuff in a Stephan Grant hammer gun as a prefer the small bores.
August, Steve Barnet's step son brought a CHE vent rib gun to Hausmann's for me to look at. It left me cold however and I never even considered it. There was however a gun waiting in the wings that I asked him to bring with absolutely NO intention of buying. It's an AAHE on a 2 frame with 32 inch barrels. The grip cap is engraved Bay City MI Dr R Ballard and below that is C. Middleton.
Now begins the search for information on Dr. Ballard and Mr. Middleton.
Oh the gun is an absolute dream. Maybe August will sell some more stuff before my hunt in Texas this fall.....that or I might have to go back to work :eek::eek:

Rich show us some pics of that AAHE!!

Arrived today
 

This :)

Seems I acquired a Remington Model 32TC 30” F&F the other day . And I think I have several that may leave the accumulation during the summer months .

C'mon Andy, details please. Friday afternoon gun probably with no safety, amazing that obvious oversight got past the final inspection :)

Sorry about that Randy everything in my life right now is in a state of entropy. Graduation party in two days hiring a new office manager it’s just a complete mess. More details to follow. 30 inch VH 12 gauge in very nice condition I will send more photos.
