From the doctor. Took a little road trip on NYE, and picked up my Iver Johnson Hercules, 12 gauge, from the smith. My co-pay was a 100 bucks and a box of shells. It would shoot 6-8 rounds for either side then just stop. These were warm summer days, so I figured something was gummed up. The smith couldn't find anything wrong, but did solder a part on the lever that was broken. He ran a box of shells through it with no failure, so I hope whatever he did does the trick. It is an early model, with the barrel marked "SMOKELESS". The serial #'s don't match, but I don't care. Gonna have the stock re-finished, since it has a nice star burst grain pattern. Maybe a re-blue, also. ![[Linked Image]](http://i.imgur.com/XyO86wml.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i.imgur.com/Jq4ZK7Jl.jpg)
