Default Well shucks- Elsie the Borden Cow just came back home

Named after Elsie MI- on M-57 and then South- near Ovid-- I just picked up a Ithaca grade 2 Flues 28 gauge with 26" barrels uncut, DT, EXT- choked 1 rt. barrel and 3 left barrel- and half a box of older tan paper 2 &7/8" Western No 8 shot and a leather gun slip- but from a private party, not a dealer or wheeler-dealer on Gun Busters-- no where near the ridiculous price range asked for this Parker with the altered barrels- gun had been in storage for years- no rust- good blue and wood, uncut- light as a feather- perhaps that's where Ithaca got their "Feather-Lite" trade mark from- Will use it for twitty birds at one farm loaded with starlings and blackbirds--Now I have to make friends with a skeet-ist who reloads 28 gauge hulls- pricey little beggars to feed-
