Chris, Just curious...what would be the primary use for this very nicely appointed gun?

Kenny, I had already started your order form and had some of the form already filled out.

3 frame BHE damasus half pistol grip with 34" 10ga barrels F and F, 34" 12 ga F and M and 26" 12 ga M and IM. Gun to weigh 10lbs with 34 inch barrels and as light as I could get it while maintaning balance with the 26s. 2 triggers of course. 2.5 inch chambers on the 12s and equivalent on the 10. SSBP of course.

I would add a more open 24" 12 but that would blow the budget.

Bill, I'll see what I can do about the additional 24" barrels. Are all of the barrel sets to be Damascus?

Yikes! I'll have to substitute a larger stock medallion to get all those birds in. This ain't Noah's Ark, ya know! Also you'll need to supply a photograph or drawing of the Vizsla since they have not been imported into the United States yet. Can we use the snipe on the small bore brochure that's impersonating a woodcock as a model for your stock medallion? Questions, questions! (BTW, on behalf of Parker Bros., thanks for your order.)

Garry,
Sporting clays mostly, but I have a few of similar configuration that I hunt pheasant with.

Well, thank you for the reminder that this is a 1 gun deal! I apologize for the apparent greed of my original order.

I would like to revise my order to an 0 frame top lever 20, in B configuration, with 30” Bernard barrels, choked IC and Mod. Please use the same dimensions as the previous gun, but would like a full ball grip with MWR engraved on the grip medallion. I would prefer an ivory front bead and ivory mid bead. I would like the triggers checked, and set as far apart from each other as is practical. Please fit the gun with a “fishtail” top lever. I would like the gun to be as close to 6 lbs as possible.

Thwnk you for your patience
