Quail Gun, 20ga

[Bruce Day]

Lots of talk recently about 24" barrels, 1/2PG and checkered butt stocks.

Here are all three together in one gun.

Interesting choke description on this gun. The 1910 order book says to choke to provide "good" patterns at 25 and 30 yards. As measured today, they are .006 and .010. This gun was patterned by Parker with 3/4 oz , 2 dram loads.

This makes a good quail and woods grouse gun. I've sometimes used it for pheasant but the charge is a little light for wild birds at distance so I don't use it much.
