Widgeon Duck Club guns

[Alfred Greeson]

I still wonder about my little VHE 20 ga. with 3 inch chambers, 176850 but it has 26" barrels. Will a letter possibly confirm if it was ordered as a 3 inch chamber gun?

[Dean Romig]

There is factory information on 176850. It may or may not address the chamber length IF it was ordered that way.

Men - As promised a few photos. Clearly I am not a photographer. The one in the rack gives a nice glimpse of the tall 32's next to my "go to early season" DH 20 with 28" barrels on a 0 frame for duck hunting.

Michael, do you have a PGCA letter on 157,187?

If I might ask what is the gun on the far right with the beavertail ?

My big 2-frame early GH-Grade 32-inch 12-gauge weighs over nine pounds. It got a later set of 32-inch long 3-inch chambered Vulcan Steel barrels that swamp in very fast and give it a weight of 8 pounds 4.5 ounces. The barrel flat weight on the 20-gauge barrels is 4 -5 --



any idea what the 153 means?

The 12-gauge Damascus barrels have a weight stamp on the flats of 5 -8 --

Craig - Gun on far right is a 12 bore Winchester model 21- 30 inch DT with as nice a piece of wood as I have ever seen on a 21. Not a gun I would normally get excited about but this gun patterns wonderfully!. Crushes ducks at 40+ yards. - Recognize- I would rarely take a shot like that on a live target but when I have with this gun they fall dead.

Hunted the J. A. Hannah widgeon gun yesterday (I nicknamed her Daryl - long legs!) for first time since I took possession. I expect its the first time it has been in a marsh in many many decades. Had a big hunt! Took 5 widgeon (and shot a double) -My hunting partners dog Hannah (not kidding) Retrieved them all! Going back to same hole on Saturday and she is coming with me!

I have not had a widgeon only hunt in Vanderbilt since October of 2011. I should probobly put her on the rack while I am way ahead? But i won't..........
