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...... Destry

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

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.

Bill,
Bill, My 8 gauge weighs more than that and I can handle it like a magic wand. Anytime you're ready on that big 10 I think I can manage to tote it around. Kurt, I'm already sceptical after seeing that bright finish on the butt stock. I love Humberstones divers but I really ain't too keen on his puddle ducks. He's got an eye for the heads on the divers, that folky but also realistic style. But the shallow water birds just don't seem to shine when he does them. He's an old diver shooter from way back, I'd imagine that's why...... Destry

Russ is in the Northeast . . . New York or Pennsylvania but I don't remember which and don't have my address book with me.
I paid him $400 to rust-blue my Titanic barrels and I'm very impressed with his work. Delighted is probably a better word. I don't know if he is still inundated with work but he was buried in work a few months ago. Don Kaas can probably answer this question or Russ himself if he comes on.

I believe Russ is "inudated". Waterfowl (insert squirrel, turkey, grouse, deer, etc.) season is a busy time for him, not to mention pigeon shooting...he also tries to do some gunsmithing on occasion too Coming home on Saturday from MD, The Colonel inquired of when he planned to do some bluing and the answer was none planned at the moment...Seriously, I know he is working on some very high end stocking jobs right now for one of his best Perazzi clients and one Parker for a BBS contributor...then there is the matter of the 5 guns of mine he has, all little jobs but one, thankfully...

Even the lowly buttplate screw sometimes requires custom fabrication to get the job done properly...
