Michigan-?... NH-?... WV-?.... Shucks! Me and Grace will likely be stuck at home with her saggin' belly or her squealin' puppies this fall.

Legh, I know that PH and it has Laminated barrel tubes even though the rib legend says otherwise. It is a sweetheart of a gun! Handles beautifully too.


Just checked the safe and I have several to shoot the cobwebs out of.

There's Rr. Admiral Thos. Perry's 20 ga. DH with 28" Damascus tubes.

There's the "Shot to Destruction" 16 ga. 26" Grade 1 T/A hammer gun Laminated Steel barrels.

There's the 16 ga. Grade 0 Lifter with 24" Twist barrels.

There's the sweet 16 ga. DHE with 26" Titanic barrels I bought from a friend here in the PGCA.

Of course, I can't forget my little 28 ga. VHE with 26" barrels.

And I might have a .410 by then too...

I expect that's enough for me, but my grandson Cam, will certainly be using his 20 ga. VH "Heirloom Parker" with 26" barrels.
