OK, look back at 5-22 where Harry Collins posted a picture of a single trigger gun. This is the picture that a poster refers to on 12-6-10.

Drew, Here's a pic of my 20ga VHE with its 32" and 28" barrels. It too is safteyless with a 2 screw SST. The trigger has not been reliable for me; L. D. got it going good for me about 4 years ago but it has since reverted to its wayward ways. I'll see if I can get some highres closeups for you to go with Harry's.

Weren't most of the small bore guns with no safety ordered by the gentleman quail hunter in the south?? No need for a safety when one only loads a gun when walking up on a covey that is being pointed by a brace of fine dogs. But then, I have heard of guys that don't use the safety on their modern guns. Why take the time to flip it off safe when a bird is flushed....

Pete, is that a picture of Scott's gun?.....if so I was looking at the same gun and considered buying it but did not. That looks exactly like the picture the dealer had on his site. Congratulations Scott on such a great gun!

Pete,

I hated staton 8. Can't move the gun until the bird leaves the house. I just wasn't that quick. The fellows I shot with had their guns mounted when they called for a bird and were going 100 x 100 most of the time. I was shooting to improve my field hunting so shot by International Rules. The team I shot with wasn't real happy with me.

Harry

Is it possible that Scott is just messin' with everyone? That he knows what a piece this is and has no intention of altering it??? Is that him I hear howling with laughter in the background somewhere??

Yeah, safeties just give one a false sense of security anyway.People do stupid things and mechanical devices fail,so just keep her pointed in a safe direction and act like like she is always loaded and wanting to go off by herself...and of course be prepared in case you would fall with her loaded,no finger on the trigger and the hand covering the trigger guard.
