Rich, how about putting together a tech or research article on the "Hollywood Gun" with hi-def pictures?

[Autumn Daze]

That would be awesome! And WE KNOW you can write well.....

It's 82 degrees IN THE HOUSE The wife thinks it's wonderfull, no need for the AC. I'm heading for the basement. Somewhere I have a copy of the PGCA letter for that gun. It doesn't say much just the description as a GHE with all the options sent from Parker in Illion to Montgomery Ward in Chicago. I'm not much into the tech side of things.

I have always thought that "raiding the forum" was a good filler, but that was not utilized to any extent.

George the "Hollywood Gun" is a GHE 16ga skeet gun on a #1 frame. Its a late production gun 1941 I think. The gun is a two bbl set both being 28 inches, one choked skt/skt the other M/F. Both bbls have their own BTF and vent ribs. A straight stock and SST rounds out the options. The gun went to Alex Kerrs in Hollwood and the engraveing was redone in a much finer and more elaborate style than a std GHE and the birds were done in gold and the background stippled to bring them out. With it's connection to Kerrs a dealer in Hollywood, Ca it gets it's name "The Hollywood" gun. It's a go to gun for me on the clays course.
