AAHE 28 gauge 32" Bernard barrels if available, Damascus if Bernards are not available. There should be a set of Bernards in the junk pile since no one ever ordered them. Bore them as tight as possible. Flat tapered rib, no extension rib and no safety on this pigeon gun. Straight grip for raciness, unplated, checkered double triggers for versatility, #1 size stock and skeleton butt on a sharp curve to stick to my shoulder, one big gold bead to save the elephants, engraving bold and deep, no birds or dogs, all scroll, to shield the engravers from criticism in the future. Gold plated screws and hardware on the long splinter forend as we recently saw on the forum.
