I am amazed at the price of .410 Skeeters recently. The price of my 30" gun surprised everyone who saw me buying it. Now "over $5000" is common. The easiest way to shoot a 32" .410 is to send one of your 32" 20 gauge 0 frame Parkers to Briley to be tubed. That may be my next project.

Bill, I could never bring myself to send my beautiful 32" DHE 20 gauge tubes to Briley, or anywhere else that I couldn't drive them in person. They're just too precious, and beautiful, to entrust to any shipping.

Aw, Shucks, I lost my Southern accent years ago when I left Virginia, and I was hoping to use that as my excuse for my poor shooting. I guess I’ll have to come up with a new excuse.

Belaboring an accent (or expletives), Southern or not, can lead to it being ignored, kinda like in the case of the boy who cried wolf. The trick is in using such appropriately, and judiciously.
Overdoing anything is not good, temperance being the key. |
