    Hey, it was Skeet Night tonight. If you want my attention on a Wednesday you’re going to have to wait!

    It looks to have .1mm of constriction. So if that’s not Cylinder it’s got to be Skeet. Was Skeet invented by 1930? Anyway, I think .1mm = .004”.

    Also, when they weighed the barrel, evidently they did it before the extension was attached.

    From what he told me the info that far back is hit and miss but they did have on the 1929. If they have info they charge. If not then he said he wouldn’t but is suppose to. He actually sent me a photo and didn’t charge. It was like 40

    National skeet association formed in 1928. Skeet was invented years before.

    Since we don’t know exactly what it will do on paper, I suggest you send it to me so I can pattern it for you. I know you hate to pattern, I would hate to see you go thru all that for some holes in paper.

    A 22 at Skeet and things went downhill from there. I hate shotguns.

    By way nice piece and pics. Wouldn’t be the same without a yellow screw driver handle in the mix.

    I don't like that idea at all

    Thanks, I should really get something nicer to use to prop them up other than a Klein screwdriver.

    Well since you don't care much for shotguns let me do you a favor and I will take possession of yours.

    Just called Browning to get some letters. They don't let you talk to the historian right away. They take your information and the serial numbers and pass it along to the very busy historian.
