I once threw a customer out of my store for slamming a double shut,ONE-HANDED, by flipping the barrels up to slam against the standing breech.I snatched it out of his hands and told him that the cowboy store was at 2nd and D st.  true story |

Sarcasm detector??? Mike, I would have hope that by now , you'd have figured my sarcam writer(forget detector) is always on... 
the replys were kinda funny,(on the other site) as were some of the pm's telling what a bad idea it was to change it. John hasn't replyed yet, but I can't wait.
The 3.5 is a good idea, but what about just boring it to 10ga?? Kinda like the 16ga adapters I'm still looking for, to go in the 20 I no longer have on order.

Why stop at 10 gauge? He should just get a punt gun. Migration laws be darned....
I know owning guns is a right, but man....some people just gotta try your patience, don't they?

I have a nice M 21 Winchester with a cracked wrist from an uneducated
idiot slamming the action shut all afternoon( I loaned him the gun).
There needs to be a course in proper technique and common sense before we every let em handle out doubles. |

One of life's lessons.
You don't loan out your shotgun, your bird dog or your wife unless you expect them to come back goofed up.
Thudddd you need to pay attention to that.....course them Merkels are pretty much screwed to start with but the dog may stand a chance. |

Well I figure if I loan my wife out she can't come back any more goofed up than I already have. 
But you ain't gettin my Merkels for my Drahthaars. Period.
TB, nutin wrong with them thar Merkels. In fact, they are one that could probably take a slamming all day long and still work. Not that I would try it or offer mine up for test purposes.  |

Leighton: Read your post several times now and still stunned-don't they shoot people down in Texas for that sort of thing?  Or is that just for fellas that run them funny looking drat-here's-my-dog-after-she-done-run-off and shoot Merkels?? |

Rev, The Girls don't run off, they just hunt, point and retrieve. 
As far as the Merkels go, only smart men shoot'um. |
