Your gun is heavy because of the choke tubed barrel and its 28" length; the extra unneeded length on the a ... |

The annual bird hunting issue of Gray's Sporting Journal is out and as always, worth a read. Even though I no longer own a pointing dog, Pointing Dog Journal is a nice magazine, too.

Welcome!
Try Flitz Metal Polish to remove the rust and it wouldn't harm the blueing.
Birchwood Casey Stock Sheen does wonders to old stocks; if you don't plan to re-finish it right away. |
