So what happened to the little AYA 28 gauge GBE had ?
I cannot remmember whether he sold the 12 gauge Sterlingworth or still had it .
I've actually been contemplating selling off my GBE book accumulation since my Grouse days in the Blue Ridge are a thing of the past !

GBE kept the Fox, I believe both it an the AYA went to friends.
