H. Goodman St. Louis Mo.

[OLD GEEZER]

H. Goodman is resting comfortably in my gun display right next to my No. 5 frame 34 inch Parker and W.Richards 8 Ga. I thought that was the least I could do for this 11 1/2 pound unique 12 Ga. I took it out today and fired a couple shells in it and I got to tell you it doesn't kick at all. I will be taking it out this week and see if I can break it in on some waterfowl. Thomas

Paul: You are welcome anytime.It is great weather this time of the year. After living in cold climates all my life it's great to now live in Idaho.Thomas

Thomas, I'll be in seattle on Friday the 16th. Through Saturday the 24th of this month. I'm affraid that is the closest I can get for now.
God bless and good hunting.

Thomas, what an unusual and interesting contraption that is!
How do you pluck the shells out of the chambers?
How difficult is it to cock the hammers by openning the breech? There's not much mechanical advantage there.
The firing pins must be enertial, and spring loaded or it would be difficult to open the breech. (they'd be stuck in the primer indents). I've got more questions but will stop here.
Thanks for sharing!

[OLD GEEZER]

I will take a few fhoto's tonight and show the breech and how it goes together. It is a unique set up that is for sure. Thomas

Here are a couple photo's of how the barrels attach to the receiver.As you can see they just slide on and a bolt is slid in with a retaining screw. After you fire the gun you just pull the lever on the side and the breach pops up. Then if you pull the breach all the way back it extracts the shells and also cocks the hammers.If you don't want the hammers cocked you just release by holding the triggers back and putting the breach back down.I may not be calling them by the right names but I hope you get the idea. The barrels are 28 inches long.Thomas
