I think Pauls info would make a nice little Parker Pages article so that it's in the permanent record. It really is one hell of a testimonial to the reliability of a Repro. A friend did the Argentina dove thing a few yrs back with an 1897? LC Smith 20ga he had personally restored and restocked. Others brought Winchesters, Berettas-S/S's, autos, you name it. I think they shot 5500 doves between them; dont' remember the ammo count but it was impressive, and the only gun fully functional in the end was the LCSmith.
