Jim C.

Thanks to all for your responses. As a newbie, it's hard to separate the wheat from the chaff. This forum has been quite helpful in the short time I have been a member. Also thanks for not calling me out on my spelling. LOL Just noticed "comperable".

WBURNS. What a good looking animal. And your photography is spectacular. I enclose a poor photo of Fritz. He is similar in color to Daisy, with the exception of no brown patch on rump and his tail is all brown. Makes an interesting picture. Brown hair, head and tail and the white whispies in between...

Eightbore, you are too funny. ""a stylish turkey retrieve." LMAO. Hell, I've known GUYS who couldn't make a "stylish turkey retrieve." A short true story. In the 60's my buddy and I needed some pheasant shooting to tide us through the winter. Had a private preserve in Lamber...

Eightbore. The gent I got him from had only used him for Duck hunting, and said he retrieved very well in water. Not much on Ducks, more a fair weather hunter, quail, pheasant, grouse and turkey. Emphasis on turkey. Regards, Jim...

Wirehair

EIGHTBORE. I noticed you have a wirehair. I've had one for about a month. Any tips or advice you might offer will be greatly appreciated. He's a 3 1/2 year old that the owner could no longer excercise due to losing 1/2 his foot to diabetes. Are they all crazy??? What a neat loveable animal. I can't ...

Silvers. I thought that copying an article from a magazine, for personal use, not commercial use, was OK. Guess not. I'll just take my time and find one on eBay. Thanks for squaring me away. Jim... Foxist. Thanks, Paul. I'll repost when I get it back from gunsmith. I started into the world of SxS la...

Newbie folllowup question.

Researcher. Can you lead me in the right direction to try and secure a copy of the DGJ articles you referred to? Either original magazines or copies of the pertinent articles. Also to correct another stupid mistake. The company that offers the Ivory beads is Galazan's, not ivory bead Co. When I foun...

Thanks, again Researcher. It is a single selective trigger. If you look closely at the photo showing the side view of the action, just above the letter opener holding the gun up, you can see the selector button. As to the pad, there is no leather on it. Well, for a newbie, I guess I'd grade, maybe a...

Researcher. I see the difference between the full pistol and 1/2 pistol. It's the degree of curvature of the grip. I stand corrected, finally. It is a full pistol grip, as you said. Oh well as I said earlier. A little knowledge..... Jim

Researcher if that is a "drawbolt" Brush model you picture in your response to me, then that's what I have. If the key is the screw head showing in the back strap immediately behind the safty--- Bingo that's what I have. I looked up the picture of the different SW's and the one shown as 19...

Researcher. Please first let me say thanks for all your info that I have had the pleasure of reading, both here and on the Elsie forum. Your knowledge should be published in book form. Now to my Fox. It is a 1/2 pistol grip looking at this forum's pix showing different guns. Mine matches the 1/2 pis...
