I took these two shots before starting to strip down the gun.





The guns top to bottom are the 1872 W.C. Scott & Sons 8 ga, The circa 1868-1885 10 gauge, the Albert Harper circa 1885 12 ga, and the circa 1920 Manufrance 16 ga (Model 44).

Of the four, the Harper at 5-1/2 pounds and 2-1/2" 12 ga is the ideal messabout gun (action and use is smoother than the 16 ga).

It also occured to me that the Galand, with it's stock fit, long barrel and rear broad V sighting device (which builds in a higher aiming point) might be a hoot for a round of trap.
