Mule Deer;
Good evening to you sir, I hope that you and Eileen are well tonight.
Thanks for the chuckle, I know you've mentioned that before and so help me I recall at least a couple times having a similar conversation with my late father.
Dad liked shorts in his Cooey 39 which was the same action as Bella Twin's Ace, but the 39 was just a wee bit longer barrel and bigger stock.
His one regret buying me a Lakefield Mossberg Mk II bolt action repeater was that it only fed long rifle ammo properly so his beloved shorts were out.
That was likely okay though as both longs and shorts became harder to get into the early '70's.
If anyone wants to read up about the rifle and CIL Whiz Bang Longs used, here's a link.

All the best to you both this Thanksgiving.
Dwayne
