I recently acquired a GHE in 12GA from a gentleman who grew tired of some of his hunting buddies concerns over his use of a damascus barreled gun. He sent it to Birmingham for proofing and a clean up of the damascus. (Came back brown, not black) BNP 3 1/4 Ton. His buddies got over their concerns. He shot many migratory and upland birds with that gun. Unfortunately, health no longer lets him enjoy the hunt and thus the passing on of some of his guns. I intend to use that GHE for opening day pheasants and hope to post some pictures of a successful day (that might mean some nice scenery shots and a sunset but a rooster or two with the GHE would be a bonus
)
Tomorrow, my wife, the dogs and I drive to Montana to pick up the plain twist under lever. While roosters don't open here until October 1, I will force myself to take a hike on our return trip looking for huns and sharptails with the .410 (not a Parker). I want to have a good look at the lifter before pressing into service.
Cheers,
Jack
