Ordinary But Not To Me
My grandfather's guns, his duck gun a 12ga Mod 1912 and pheasant gun, a PHE 16ga. These were bought from in laws Kautzky Sporting Goods of Fort Dodge Iowa. In the mid 60's I headed off to school and the Air Force with these behind the seat of a 1954 Ford pick up truck. The truck and grandpa are long gone except in my memories. But these guns were his. Rudy Kautzky told me to hang on to them because they didn't make guns like this any more.
It's a 1921 P with steel barrels on a 1 frame, original bores at Full and IC. I shot heavy loads until I figured out that hitting birds in the head with a 1 oz loads beat missing with heavy loads. I figure about 80,000 rounds have been through the old P, still on face and lever centered.
