I corrected my earlier photo. That call is a Tom May. Russell's Carved Perry Hooker looks more like the famous Beckeart carved calls and i don't have a photo of it on my computer. Here's one I picked up from the intranet. Will Perry Hooker Carved Call from Guyette and Deeter auction. Hooker Carved C...

Craig, I believe you are thinking of Perry Hooker, Nash wrote of his calling, call making and tuning expertise. The most notable "Checkered" Calls of Nash's time would have been those of American Bottoms' ILL transplant to Reelfoot Lake's Starve Island Camp Victor Glodo Jr. Like the one th...

First for me.

It is a later production gun of course, but certainly couldn't be factory since the screws are out of time! Lol

Let us know what you turn up!

Guys another what I would consider "Factory" Long Range barrel example just changed hands on TS.com. Notice there are no other choke marking in the normal areas, in my mind suggesting the barrel was selected and bored to long range specifications prior to any other borings. Scott was kind ...

Guys I know this is not a firearm but thought some of you might be interested to know that the Remington STS Pigeon Load has been reintroduced as the "Nitro Pigeon" and is now showing up in stock at several on-line retailers. Proper pigeon loads: 3.25 Dr 1.25 ounce 1220 fps. Good shooting,...

Bret it appears to be in an 8"x11" format from the picture, is that true?

That Publication was originally in full News Print size, it would narrow the search if we can narrow down this for me.

Thanks, Will

Great guns, thanks for posting Craig.

Most C grades appear to have seen a lot of use as you indicated, those that show up pristine typically have had their share of cosmetic surgery! Lol

Will

PS. Really like your answer to keeping the weight off of the recoil pad!

One way to boost material on the boards!

Thanks Dave Lol

Interesting looking trigger would be neat to see the "Inards" as we say down here!

Will

Craig,

Unfortunately these days all I can do before season is Buy More Shells!!

Good luck to all!

Will

Hope no one minds, but I saw these and immediately thought of this thread!

This was in the mid-to-late 90's. Mark is a class act and always had top-notch dogs running in the Grand. I am down working around Slidell and need to take out that direction on one of the weekends that I am stuck in a hotel and try to look some of that group up. Thanks for reminding me of good time...

Dave,

It was number 6800 to be exact!

He lived about 20 miles from where I grew up and live now.

Will

Kent thanks for the history lessons on the Louisiana calls. I got my first taste of a Chien Caille (Pronounced Shane Ki) speck call calling in a contest against Mark Hundley a Pro Class Lab Trainer from Gueydan at the National Hunting Retriever convention in St. Louis years ago. I immediately called...

You’ll have to remove the stock on order to see the grade stamps.

Typically the grades under 4 are not designated on the underside of the barrel.

I did also notice all even length barrels in the flyers/catalogs. Weatherby, While you have it broken down try measuring from the chamber entrance to the end of the barrel and see if you not a little closer to an even number. I'm glad to see the action release button is still the original flat soli...
