OK, after a long trip home to NC to visit family, I have returned to VA to find a lovely 12 gauge hammergun waiting on me. Boy, this gun is more beautiful that I could have imagined. It looks so incredible on the #1 frame. I can see why the smaller frame guns are so desirable. This scale of the 12 on a 1 frame works so perfectly. The wood has been refinished and checkering has been re-cut by a professional. The wood is so incredible, the figure and black lines in the walnut look like they belong on a much higher grade gun. When you hold this gun it feels, looks, and points better than my 16 on a one frame. You may have noticed that i'm in love. What a beauty! My wife is now convinced that I have a problem. So am I (not enough parkers).
I'll post more potos when I can put the gun down long enough to take some pics.
By the way, I was horrified to see that the gun was shipped in one piece. It had only been wrapped in paper, bubble wrap, and put in a cardboard box. The gun had not been broken down and had not been wrapped to the extent that I would have expected. Fortunately, se arrived without a scratch (best I can tell). Just goes to show that you should specify everything when it comes to how you want your babies shipped. A potentially expensive lesson learned.
