That reminds me of a time several years ago, we were on a camping trip and I took along a Trojan 16 To shoot some birds with. A hunting friend showed up to have a few beers and I proudly had to show him my 16 that I had just put together. I started with very nice barrels and a reciever, but no forend or stock. By the way I ended up way deeper then I should have on that project, but sometimes it goes that way. He extended his arms to handle the gun and I proudly handed it to him. He opened the breech, and immediately slammed it shut, so hard it brought tears to my eyes. I retrieved my gun and put it away, back to the safety of the gun case.
