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
