OK, the "Cobb Gun". Early EH Grade #3 frame ten gauge in really nice condition as I remember, with a little color here and there. The owner wanted a little more power, so he sent it to Remington and asked for the "new" magnum 3 1/2" chambered barrels to be installed on his old friend. My gosh, they did it. Steve and I talked about the gun at Las Vegas and somehow I didn't write the check. It may have been the same year at Vegas that I bought a screaming Super Fox that was not recognized for what it was. So you take your choice and write the check. Destry's gun is a true rarity that I missed. So what else is new? It is a real nice gun that I would love to own. Congratulations, Destry. By the way, I put Destry on to the fluid steel Churchill eight gauge that he bought for a "fair price". Ha Ha. The gun lived about thirty miles from my house with a good shooting friend and I just kind of ignored it. Oh well. Again, congratulations. Destry. What a guy.

I called a friend one time to tell him about a ten that was for sale in the Gun List for about $1500. It was not described very well and I'm not much for sending guns back so I hoped my friend would order it in so we could look at it. Destry, hold your hat. It turned out to be a CH 34" Bernard ten with extra set of Remington 34" 3 1/2" magnum barrels numbered to the gun with the original owner's name engraved on the rib of the Bernard barrels and the later owners name engraved on the Remington barrels, both factory done. The gun had a hard life and was refinished and recolored at Remington. I never asked my friend whether he negotiated the asking price to something less than $1500.
