    I think from the look on her face when we stopped her for the photo, she was a bit shocked. To her, momentarily, it appeared that we did not want the duck she had brought back from away out in the willows.

    Dogs when you know them are able to express their feeling quite well in different ways.

    EeeBees will like that.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Your Barrels have got that very brown blueing on them they tell me is a rusting process.

    Are the barrels Damascus.

    She loves the free fresh wind in her hair; Life without care. She's broke but it's oke; that's why the lady is a tramp.

    I bought a young huntaway once, called Spud. When I asked the Maori mate I bought him off why he called him Spud, he said "shit man, have you ever tried to shout out "get in behind fucking potatoe" with loose false teeth, and when you are fucking furious?"

    One of my great hard case memories. Thanks Bob.

Size:  629.2 KB scribe,to answer your question,yes the barrels are damascus,and they have a beautiful pattern,not evident in this photo,but next time i haul it out from the back of the safe,i will take some more photos.the barrels are the original browning,this gun apart from a couple of safe marks over the years looks in as new condition which is remarkable. petros i have never weighed the gun,but i would think it is around the 6 1/2 lb mark.it is beautifully balanced. i do have an older gun,a greener hammer 12ga made in 1877 which i shoot more with.i took this on our annual pheasant drive.i like to bring the old guns out, if just to get a rise from the extended mag crew. anyway there was this pheasant,a high one that flew parallel to the guns,flighting over a stand of trees on on a bank.on he came past 5 guns,untouched, until the greener where he folded on report.a large cheer went up. it was my finest moment with that gun.i tell that story not to give the impression i am an extrordinary shot,(which i am not),but to give hope to many,like myself who spur themselves on with the thought,with only a few more opportunities i'll master that shot.every dog has its day! the barrels on the greener are steel,its been well shot over the years,so it is worn.i shoot it as is using falcon 4's and 7's 28gm 2 1/2 inch cartridges. i've added the photo as this was busta at 10 months on the molesworth shoot last year.we are off again next week.it'll be laydown blinds for two day/nights, then walking all the gully's for nester's,which is exciting shooting and challenging.busta is good at climbing the hills to locate and finding the odd hare or hedgehog.but we leave the big bird retreiving to the bigger boys.
