As a kid I bought a 1963 shooter's bible and saw pictures of a Stoeger-Ferlatch 3 barrel gun.
Then in 2005 a guy wanted help fixing his Browning 22 SA. His wife was anti gun, so the guns were at his mother's house hidden between mattresses in the basement. I quickly cleaned the 22 and it worked. But he also had his late father's triple guns and I got to handle them. My eyes were popping out of my head.


There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self. -Ernest Hemingway
The man who makes no mistakes does not usually make anything.-- Edward John Phelps
