20ga Gun Display for the PGCA's 20th Anniversary!
 

If you weren't able to attend the 2013 PGCA Annual Meeting and Banquet in Rhode Island this year, you missed out on an exceptional display of 20 gauge guns. The members in attendance were able to vote on their favorite, and now you can too! Here are photos of all 9 guns. Sorry I don't have details on all of the guns, maybe someone else can help to fill in the gaps. Enjoy!

OK, which gun won the People's Choice Award. We may have been told, but I forgot.

Bill, you're winner was Gun #6, one of the 20ga lifters.

Beautiful guns and I like that there is a variety of different grades and different eras

Thanks for the pics Mike.

Mike, In all honesty, I think I enjoy looking at your pictures more than I did seeing the guns with my own eyes. I don't know how you do it, but that's why I make maple syrup and you take pictures.

Yeah.... and just like the pics you make damn good syrup.
