A few more of Austin - in the last two group pictures Austin is at the far right.

I was wondering where that 10 Gague 26" gun came from Bruce. That makes my mouth water at the thought of shooting late season pheasants with that gun.

I saw Bruce take a quail with it in Kansas a few years back.

The 10 gauge barrels for this number 2 framed CH are factory 26 inch and four blade Damascus. Both barrels are factory non choked cylinder. It is still a heavy gun, about 7 3/4 lbs, so I carry it a while then put it away. I have a case of 10’s from RST in 1 1/4 oz 5 shot and it makes most pheasant shots easy.
In the last few years I have been using a 7 lb Parker 12 ga 28” G top action hammer shot gun on much of my upland game hunting . I like the challenge of the external hammers. I am heading north on Sunday for two to three weeks in the grouse woods then south to pheasant . Too warm here. I am taking some windshield de-icing fluid for Dick Dow. They don’t sell that stuff in SoCal, too many people there buy it for cheap alcohol and it would pollute the Los Angeles freeways. |

Hammer guns rock, Bruce. My best duck gun by far is an 1883 32" twist bbld hammer gun. Never seen a 12ga dust clays or kill ducks so far out as that thing will. My grade 2 dam 10ga hammer gun is also incredible on upland birds. I've used it for pheasants and chukars on a preserve and it really got it done. As with yours though, it's heavy to carry.

I never met Austin, but wish I had the privilege. He left quite a legacy here as well as many other places I have heard.
