And lastly, a couple long, tall Sallys . . . .

Stan, my friend, the Repro has 32" barrels? The Honker has 34" barrels?

Dove and ducks beware! A darned nice arsenal, Stan.

My bad, Bill. The Sarasqueta, of course, has a 36" barrel. Typo will be corrected. Thanks!

I don't have a Repo. Which one were you referring to, the DHE? It was completed in 1928/29.

A little more info. The Wingmaster barrel was backbored by a former cardshooter for extremely tight patterns. It is now .062" constriction (XXXXF ? ). I've shot a few sporting clays with it and found it handles surprisingly well. I do not expect it to pattern well with larger (5s, 4s, etc.) shot for waterfowl, but will get around to testing it eventually.

Stan, I don't know how I got a Repro in my head. Great guns.

Stan, Askins wrote about diminishing returns with chokes being too tight with larger shot resulting in blown patterns.

Let’s remember, Askins was writing about paper shells with fiber wads and bare shot. A far cry from modern shells with polymer shotcups.

Wow, impressive!
