Stupid is .....
Hi Dean, From 1971 to 1974 I was stationed at Ft. Wainwright at Fairbanks, Alaska. On a Saturday I think in 1972 or 3 a friend and I happened to go to the helicopter maintenace hangar for some forgotten reason. We walked into one of the shops and two sergeants were there getting ready to cut the barrel of a 20 gauge Model 12 with a hack saw. I asked to see the gun and it was handed to me. The gun was serial number 23. The barrel was probably 30 inches and the owner wanted it shorter for some reason. I did everything but get on my knees and beg him not to cut it. I offered to buy it but he wouldn't sell. We left the shop as he started to cut the barrel. I could not stay and watch. Tom
