Default A Rare pair of 20 gauge Underlifters meet @ Sanford

This past weekend I had the pleasure of meeting Jay Oliver at Deep River,

Jay had brought his great 20 gauge underlifter and we put the two lifters back together for a few pictures. (I believe these spent some time together before)?

I enjoyed meeting Stan as well. Those guns were both made in 1879 with Parker made Laminated steel barrels. It was nice to see them together. Stan's grade 3 20ga. lifter is just beautiful.

If you insist Craig,

Yes, another one followed me home, it is a 6 frame 32” grade 2 with fairly open chokes, .018 & .020. Was hoping to take a spin on the practice 5 stand before waving the Southern on Sunday, but weather and time didn’t allow

Very nice Stan!! Mike Smith told me he bought a second 8 Saturday at the Southern, GH 36" I think. I'm sure we will see it at Hausmann's, looking forward to seeing you and the new cannon.

Craig,

I was able to shoulder Mike's new 8, it is a monster with 36" barrels. Looking forward to Hausmans also, maybe we can try the Bo Whoop targets.

I happened by just as Mike was wrapping up the deal. It's a beast.
