Ron,

A great article! I enjoyed the history you provided on the H&R A&D guns along with the family connection. I can't imagine the gun went unfired and was stored in attics for a long time. I just remember my grandfathers attics in PA and they got fairly warm in the summer. Glad to see the gun is in great condition.

Ken

Thank you Ken. Others have made the same observation about the storage method. And I think most people believe you should never store a gun in its leather case. I'm no expert but that's how this gun was stored for over 50 years and it is perfect except for some wear caused by it rubbing against the contact areas inside the case.
