3 frame 12 gauges are great guns.

I'm really enjoying my PP. I especially like Craig's CHE. I am sure others have seen some of the anomalies Craig speaks about, and it's fun just wondering how they came about. My 30" grade 2 16ga is one like Craig's, with the mysterious numbering. The gun is 76544, but the hammers are stamped 77544.

That they are. 3 frame 10s might be even better

Got my issue, too . . . wonderful, as always! I always like to read the PGCA Doubles Club listing as I like seeing my name and reliving the moment But what really struck me as phenomenal, and one that I hadn't noticed before, was the double one of our members accomplished many moons ago -- and that was a double on geese . . . with a VHE .410!!! You have to admit, that is one h--- of an accomplishment!

My guess is that they were shot from a pit blind in a mowed cornfield with decoys all around him. Not too hard to take head shots at geese settling in on cupped wings

I once tried to take a longbeard with my 28 ga. Repro but when Grandaddy came in to about fifteen yards I was cuttin' ZZZZZZZZZ's..............how embarrassing!!

Dean,

At least you did not identify it as an L.C. Smith as the American Rifleman did to the Parker in the L.C. Smith story. The gauge does not matter. Being an editor is an almost impossible job, because striving for perfection will drive one crazy after you discover something you should have caught. It is never a big deal, it happens. Thanks for the good work! (Still waiting for my copy.)
