Great guns. Great pictures. A safe is not proper storage for such guns. Build a vault so that you can look at them every day.

Garry,
The MacNaughton toggle safety is like trying to use a Greener safety. They have to be shot a lot to really make them easier to use. Unfortunately, I haven’t shot them enough yet. A dove hunt/shoot sounds like a good place to use them. I’m always looking for another unique gun and wiping them down once a year does bring back memories of hunts ( not just game, but also the hunt to find them ).

Ken

Alas, if I built a vault, I couldn’t afford guns.

Those are all great guns Garry. Congratulations on putting that together. I was surprised to learn you liked short barreled guns such as the 24” variety. What is your ultimate “Dream Gun” to find?

Gosh, Mike, like many of us, I dream many dreams, and of many guns.

But every now and then, I see a certain 24” Parker that a friend of mine once showed me.

Oh you are so smooth …
No wonder your collection is so vast.
