Kurt,

Was a pleasure visiting with you as well, thanks for letting me hang out at your booth. Humberstone does good decoy work for the most reasonable price I'm aware of anywhere. That little rig of buffleheads he did for Jim is so nice I think I'm gonna have to order a set for myself.

Please don't case color that gun, it would break my heart. It's got honest wear, leave it that way. A nice dull oil finish on the stock, nothing too bright. Since you're gonna sell it to me one day soon I should get to pick......

LOL....!!! Don't worry, I don't have the $$ for much more work on it anyway. I need to get some work done on a DH10 3 frame.

Those buffies are also nice....hard to decide which species to go with. A dozen mallards would also be nice....

Destry, the little 34" Vulcan Steel ten gauge magnum is on a #6 frame. However, it may be a little much for even you to handle in the field at 13 1/2 pounds. The base of the original Silvers pad is still intact. If the screws aren't in the way, I may just have the base checkered and not install a new pad. My main hunting ten magnum has a buttplate and only weighs 9 pounds. At 13 1/2 pounds, recoil shouldn't be a problem.
