Tell us more about it. Is it a standard weight gun on a 20 gauge frame? It is beautiful.

Thanks!

It is on a 20 frame and the .410 weighs more than the 28 but 6 ounces which is crazy.

Thicker walls on the .410 so the barrels fit causes the weight differential.

well
since they both mount to the same frame - therefore the the smaller bore will likely have more meat at the breech to match up

Retirement sure is boring isn't it Shawn..Hard to find things to do. I spent the day catching jumbo bluegills, here are a few. Catch and release to hot grease.

The knife is a custom build by J Taber of Minnesota. I have a couple of his and his dad’s...his dad is a dentist turned knife maker! They make great slip joints!
