Ken,
No I did not witness any of the destructive test. I live in Kentucky and was visiting my daughter in Chicago. I took the VH to Dennis Potter in Wisconsin and he passed it along to Sherman Bell. When I got the gun back the stock was broken and the barrels a mess. There was a note from Bell that read something like, "If you you want scrambled you have to break eggs." I donated the barrels to PGCA. My cousin gave me a set of Damascus 2 frame barrels and Brad Bachelder recolored and fitted them to the frame. Donnie Gemes at Show Me Gunstocks in Missouri made a straight stock for it with checkered butt. It is great at wobble trap as well as dove hunting. I took two doubles and had my limit of fifteen dove in an hour my last hunt of the 2018 season.
