Thank you! No, it is a Meriden gun; 1925. Sadly, not the original stock when I got the gun. Someone had made a poor attempt at re-stocking at some point in the gun's past. The guardbow didn't fit right at all, wrong PG cap, missing shield, wrong butt plate, and the proportions of the pistol grip to the tang were all wrong. Larry restocked it for me to my dimensions. The FE wood is still original.

Mike Franzen, I'm thinking that gun is good for at least two limits of dove a day. Of course that wouldn't be legal, so you'll just have to walk off the field early.

No doubt the gun can handle two limits of dove a day with no problem. Now me on the other hand well, you’ve seen me shoot.
