We’ve probably all read Allen Newell’s description of his inherited 16 gauge VH that his grandfather ordered new.
Granddad ordered it with so much drop that Allen could hardly shoot it, and the fact that it was so well worn Allen made the decision to send it to DelGrego’s for a complete restoration, including a new stock.
Allen sent me these pictures asking me to post them so that everyone could see the beautiful VH 16 that he cherishes so much.

With Allen’s permission…
