Rainy day gun

[wayne goerres]

Here are some photos of the greener that came in yesterday. I got a slight surprise when I fired it. UNbenonced to me the gun has ejectors. The first time I opened it a shell caseing hit me in the forehead. Dose anybody know what the lettering on yhe bottom rib is.

Wayne:
A fine Facile Pinceps Greener indeed ! The inscription on the bottom rib seems to be "Durango Trading (?) (some acronym) Colo." Like: Durango Trading Company, [Durango] Colo.

Added here in the States, no doubt.

Otherwise the gun is reproofed in Birmingham for nitro loads. And the bores have been honed to at least .740. Original proofs were Birmingham.

If the gun has ejectors and they work, great. But if anything ever goes awry with Greener ejectors, it is imperative you send the gun to Greener for repair. Anyone else will muck them up.

And... I wouldn't take that gun out in the rain unless I had no other choice!

The day, the gun, my choice rainy or not, at 82 what am I saving it for?

How about posterity?

By this philosophy, why not use the Mona Lisa for a door mat? What are we saving it for?

i would agree with not abusing a gun,

but a gun is a gun and made to shoot.

while the Mona Lisa is meant to be a painting not a floor covering.

Hope know one minds but I am going to use this old thread to post some pic's that were requested by a couple of forum members. My computer has a problem and I can't start a new thread. So here we go. W C Scott 8ga. 3 1/4" chambers 34"barrels.
