Hey, that would work, too.

Ken, I think we could be friends. Haha. After researching the process I've cooled on the idea of buying a gun during my trip. I have been shopping some sites though.

The pair of MacNaughtons (did I spell that correctly?) at RIAC on Sunday are interesting. Have you looked at them?

The frame cracking issue was mitigated with a change around 1919/1920. It was due to shooters using heavier new loads. Of course you have no idea who has fired what in a hundred year old gun.

I think the change was at the same time the grade 1 1/2 was designated as a 1.

The 20s are nice guns if you get a good one that fits (or you are one of those who can fit yourself to a gun). Mine has become a favorite upland carry shotgun

Dan, it’s the Rock Island Auction Co. rockislandauction.com The guns sell on Sunday, along with several other interesting UK guns, including a Purdey live bird hammer gun.
