Re: Double Gun Journal

I guess my status as a "paid up subscriber" got lost in the shuffle because I have not gotten a USPS notification. I'll wait with everyone else, I guess.

Re: Double Gun Journal

Maybe the printer is sending all of the paid up books to Southern Sportsman??

Re: Double Gun Journal

Pembina is a border crossing in North Dakota. I assume the Cote's printer hand carried the previously addressed books to the USA Post Office in Pembina. Has anyone else gotten this notification? I'm paid up but didn't get a tracking notice. Southern Sportsman couldn't be the only one.

Re: Double Gun Journal

I was never in doubt. Lately I have been opening random back issues and am discovering articles I don't remember reading. When my Reader arrives, I will put the back issues back on the shelf and work on the Reader.

"Numbers match" means nothing until you measure the frame with calipers.

Re: Which one would it be???

My 20 Sterlingworth weighs 5 pounds, 11 ounces. It would be my choice for long or rough hunts.

The gate attendant will let you go where you need to go. I haven't been able to walk for ten years and the gate people have always given me every assistance.

Re: Which one would it be???

My HE 20, or my HE 12 that letters to Nash, or which Parker, A or AA, oh heck, I agree with Craig. It can't be done. To be honest, with the price of shot what it is, a .410 would probably win out. Now, which .410? Maybe the skeet configured Francotte from the family of a famous four star.

Re: Grade a butt pad

Silver, solid red, Jostam, red with slots. Many early Fox guns with Silver pads were leather faced, an elegant option. Use the search function to see pictures of each pad.

Re: Tulsa Anyone

How close is the Tulsa Show to the airport? I assume it is not like Louisville, right across the highway.

Re: 2025 Southern Side X Side Championship and Exhibition

I carried a ten gauge AYA shooting 1 3/4 ounces of steel #2 and BB for several years. I should apologize for some of the shots I took with that gun. However, I would rather brag than apologize.

Re: Early Fox, Parker, and Ithaca Catalogs

Dave the catalog I mentioned is printed in red ink, identical to the Clown. I'll examine a Clown and see whether the back page opposite the clown cover is missing or torn off. Thanks for replying.

Re: Bonifide Rem 31 TC Long Range "Style"

Can other owners of Remington "Long Range" marked barrels report in with the bore diameters. I find it hard to believe that Remington made barrels with a .742 bore like this poster mentions. No one with a "Long Range" barrel seems to own a bore micrometer. Kevin does but his gun ...
