Enjoy your new prize possessi ... |

If you want to hear some real intelligence go to your local club or afield with your favorite old 16 double and fire off some blackpowder shells.
Amazing what you will hear! |

chilly, I will check tonight. I have one of each and the buttplates are original on them. The pattern on them is the same but the size might be slightly different.

16 Guy,
Since I am a '31' fan, that is great info to know. I have a 12, 16 and 20.
Do you know if they ever did a .410 in the '31' ? I've never seen any record of it.
Thanks again,
Jim |
