Young Buck who works out of Joel Etchen guns outside of Ligonier. Ask for Wes. Probably stronger than before I broke it. You can't find the break and it was one twist away from being in two pieces.
The refinish and checkering recut is as good as I've seen.

You have seen pre-break pics of it in the recent English Cocker thread.
Just got it back today.

Whelanman, I see your Peiper has the original :monobloc" barrels, a Peiper specialty, if not their invention.
Does it have a steel monobloc on Damascus barrels? I've seen several of those; kinda the best of both worlds in those days. Steel on damascus!

Okay, what I meant was "fluid cast or forged steel on Damascus/laminated steel"--picky, picky!
But I agree, Damascus IS steel....

Here's a cheap ol' Davidson 16ga. Choked M/F, and I'd really like to open it up to M/IC or LM/LM. I also need to send it somewhere that knows something about SxSs...sometimes the firing pins hang in the brass and she doesn't want to break open right. It's nothing fancy, but I had been eyeing this gun almost every day for about 6 months after school when I was 12 or so, and I got it for my birthday that year. Like I said, it's just a cheap old Spanish made gun, but I love it. I might buy a few boxes of 16ga classic double Hevi-shot and try to kill a few limits of ducks with it this year.

The Grans are nice. Did they put that one on a 12 or 20 frame or did that make a 16 specific frame? What does it weigh?

I thought they were on a 16 ga frame but I'm not 100% sure. I do know it's NOT a 12 bore frame. Mine weighs 7.2 lbs.
Nicest shooting Citori I have ever shot, the balance is near perfect.

Nice weight for a dedicated Pheasant shotgun.

My favorite shotgun. Was Dad's but after YEARS of whining, he gave it to me. Remington 870 16ga. circa 1972.
Karma and Trouble have busses, and there's always an empty seat.

I got this model 37 16ga so I could stop the whining. The stock is smudged and is in good shape. Not having a 16ga is like not having a .45 or 30-06.
The Karma bus always has an empty seat when it comes around.- High Brass

1926 M12 12ga solid rib barrel. The barrel is 26" and has screw in chokes. The barrel at the muzzle was crushed and the barrel was cut and modified for the choke tubes.

I'd say whoever crushed it may have done you a favor in a couple ways. Nice pick-up.

Today I retrieved my model 12 heavy duck with a solid rib and my 1950's model 1897 from the local gunshop.. Had them up for sale for about a month or more.. Finally decided even if I didn't shoot them much, I loved having them in the safe!! Did sell a model 37 solid rib to my best pal, so now I have something to search for at the gunshows...
