I just picked a new to me 71 up yesterday.
Bittersweet.
Friend had a stroke and won't hunt again.
He got it in 1942 as a graduation present.
In 1942 the day after you graduated you enlisted.
So he got to hunt with it in 1946 for the first time.
I don't know if he had the barrel shortened. I'll ask him Monday.
I'd rather hunt with him than have the gun.
