I wonder if Charlie Green still has his 40" 10 ga. DH shown on page 1027 of Vol. II of The Parker Story?

I've been in awe of that gun since I first saw it in The Parker Story.

Daryl Middlebrook had a 40" GH 8 on display at the Southern years ago. It was raining and some water had accumulated on it. I wiped the water off and figured Daryl wouldn't mind my picking it up and handling it, since I just saved it from rust. It handled well and you would not know it was 40 inches.

Still, I would not trade my 34" 8 gauge and have recently become an afficionado of short barrelled guns

Mills knowing that you have turned the corner and are admiring the short barreled guns coupled with your passion for the 16 bore and the C grades I may have stumbled upon your dream gun. #138835, an Acme barreled CH 16 gauge with 22" barrels BTW I have one of Daryls guns, a 36" DHE 12 ga.

Probably not Stan, It's not made for Sanford type targets. I have shot some sporting clays with it but mostly wobble trap.
