I have seen Eric's collection and it's stunning, probably the finest collection of American SXS in the world. Of all of them my favorite is a BHE 410 with 32 inch vent rib barrels.

Well I kind of deduced that much Mike

Not sure if he was in industrialist, lived near you or what. I googled him, got some information. Seems like a fascinating guy and gun collection.

On top of everything else, Eric is a nice guy and unassuming.
