Both guns are are factory correct barrels. TPS indicates one 24” 12 gauge being manufactured. The one pictured is 30,000 serial numbers earlier and surfaced just a few years ago. It’s a VH, 1 frame, made in 1903 choked IC and LM. The other gun is a beautiful DH 20 gauge that belongs to Bruce. He can tell you more about it but it’s a straight quail killer in his hands.
PS … I’m not entirely sure what calf fries are but they taste really good.

I’ve seen the good Mr. Franzen’s short barreled gun and it’s a beauty…and will kill quail.

This is one of my favorite photos from some years ago . New Lewellin setter pup Fielder , almost 6 months old, first quail hunt , first day . Stop the truck to get the guns out, let the dogs out, the pup goes on point and holds . Can’t be , she doesn’t know what she is doing but Bert backs hard.
Step up and a big covey flushes.

You don’t see many “out of the box” savant pups. I’ve had one in 30+ years. I’ll bet that pup and you had some memorable days.
