Marty,

This gun is on the #3 frame which is actually the lighter 10 gauge frame. It's got chamber wall thickness for sure, breeches look like a cannon. I've killed a jillion ducks with 2 3/4 shells but I like to shoot something a little heavier sometimes too. I'm excited to have a 3 inch double, should be a good one for later in the season when the shooting is a little rougher.

Roger,

I'm on my way to visit Gerald in the morning actually. We've got busines.....

Flanders,

If they've got a good price on those 3 inch BB shells, and you don't want them, I'm sure I'd probably take them off their hands.


Regards,
Destry

P.S. Something I failed to mention about the pigeon shoot was that the new duck gun really seems to actually draw in ducks. We were on dry land, nearest water was a couple miles away. We saw a group of birds coming in in the distance and all got ready thinking they were pigeons. When they got closer it turned out to be a flock of young mallards and a single shoveler.

Apparently they'd found the waste grain around the storage bins just like the pigeons had. They made about four swings trying to get in there, all plenty close enough to shoot, but we didn't of course. We weren't hidden quite well enough for ducks so they never landed but they sure tried. Take a duck gun to a pigeon shoot and apparently you get ducks anyway. I took it as a good sign for things to come with the new gun.

Hopefully we'll see them again opening weekend. Unfortunately, the State of Illinois, in their infinite wisdom, has decided that the Thanksgiving weekend opening day wasn't a good idea. We just heard the season in Southern Illinois opens two weekends earlier as of this season, the middle of November rather than at the end. Hopefully I'm able to make it home for it.
