| I know you'll keep picking yourself back up, Dave, hoping you get a favorable weather change and have some opportunities to try each of the guns you're planning on shooting over your Gordon! |

| Nice collection! When I owned a couple of 21s, they turned out to both be 1940 production. Also a Winchester guy, they were a natural follow-on to Model 12 16's as bird guns. Enjoy yours! |

Dave, that IS a deal! Hope it works out as planned, and that the roughcut cabins act as a good backup. It'd be hard to stay away.
Good luck this season!

The choke was backbored an inch or two behind the choke. The difference in patterns was definitely more than 5%, more like 10% if not more. I’ll look for some photos, think I might have some.
