Started 2018 with the misguided idea I needed fewer firearms, I failed!!! I gave two rifles to my great grandson; 1878 Trapdoor Springfield and my father's single shot .22. I also sold two guns a beautiful L.C. Smith 12 gauge and a A.J. Aubry 12 gauge. However I added a long barreled 45 Colt Bisley, 1967 12 gauge Browning Superposed 28 barrels (Skeet & Skeet) with tubes for 410, 28 and 20. In the 1990s I had a 12 gauge Fox restocked and totally redone, I sold the gun to a dear friend with the condition I could repurchase if he ever decided to sell, bought the gun back in November and still can't believe I ever sold the gun. It just crushes the bird on our sporting clays course. Finally I purchased a 1892 GH 12 gauge and had it redone used it on sharptail in Montana.
2019 I'm going to sell at least two guns! Currently the two leading candidates are 2 SBTs; L. C. Smith and Ithaca.

Bill,
The gun came from an elderly gentleman that had shot it for years. He was a much shorter man that needed less drop than me. The flats are marked sleeved and it is a quality job and has 2 3/4" chambers with fishtail top lever on a 0 frame. He had shot light and heavy loads through it. I don't know much else except it has been a fun project. My hope is to finish it in time to hunt the last weekend of the Kansas season with it.

Default Finally finished the 16 hammergun

Finished the little 16 0 frame hammer gun late last night. My hope was to hunt with it before the end of the Kansas season. The dogs and the little gun worked well on the wild birds. It could become a favorite. The dog decided to go incognito.
