Default First Duck with my NH 10ga

I got my first duck today with my new to me 1891 NH 10ga. Not much of a test for it as this hen was 20 yards out and closing when I let go. Gun is 10 pounds 4 ounces, 32" ugly bores (some internal pitting for full length of both) with .030 for choke (barrels stamped 6lb 6 oz). Wood is rock solid, screws boogered. No dents or bulges in barrels, minor carry wear on wood, checkering thin on forend, gun is mechanically tight. Found it last week at the Kittery Trading Post for not much more than Stevens 311. Scott Kittredege opended it up yesterday, cleaned and lubed it. Loaned me a shell this morning and success!
