Thomas,
That was back in the late '80's and I sent it to a Winchester reccomended 'smith in Coudersport, Pa. One year while hunting in the UP, I met a bigshot in the NRA who was going to meet Wayne Lapierre and go hunting out west. He liked the gun and showed up at the cabin that night with a wad of hundreds . I had just started with the old sxs and had bought my first 16 SW and 16 VH and never looked back.

If it makes you feel any better, it happens to the best of us! Does the name Nash Buckingham ring a bell?!!

Dean, done that and the results were the same with my wife...

Kathy knows this only too well. The other evening I left the gas grill burning for 5 minutes to burn off the sauce residue after barbequeing some chicken thighs. Last night I went to grill some nice steaks for us and I had to walk back in the house and sheepishly tell her we were out of gas.... Boy, did I get it!!

Rich, I've found a couple of lost dogs in the UP, but never an H & H. Maybe I'll be lucky and find a GH 16 leaning against a tree somewhere out Turner Rd.

I had my gun in one of those old canvas take down cases with separate compartments for the barrels, action and forend. I lifted it out of the back of the truck, swung around, and watched the barrels go skidding across the asphalt street; the flap was buckled but apparently there was enough room for them to slip by. They came away with a few nicks and scratches but no dents. It was my old Stevens 5100 but I couldn't have felt worse if I'd wrecked a new car.

The gun that fell out is my 20 Ga. 32 Inch VHE no. 1 frame with English stock and probably needs to head over to Kieth Kearcher for a once over. The barrels are getting a little thin but is a great shooter. Thomas
