Thanks Harold for the kind words. Abby passed away in August at the age of 14. Hardest trip to the vet I've ever had was that day. The story of the gun can be found in the below links and its a 12 gauge as I wanted to be able to take it out west and shoot some roosters. Abby hunted roosters in Montana, North Dakota and Kansas. She liked roosters a lot.
Fortunately Abby was able to go with me to a local preserve when she was 13 and I was able to shoot a few birds over her when the gun was completed. I also got a nice turkey with the Abby gun in April of this year as well and presented that turkey to Abby in my back yard. That was also a fun day.
