1921 A 12ga.

Image Ser. No.26182,30" Chromox,Chokes Full-Imp. Mod. By the wear marks, my guess is that this belonged to a duck hunter, and it led a hard life. Thought about restocking but just went with a refinish. The scars,chip out of fore end and dowel pin repairs kind of grow on ya, because you know they were earned while hunting.

Great old gun; I for one like the fact that you chose to refinish the wood. You can't re-manufacture honest character!

The old girl sports a pair of #3's. It had a spalled up hard rubber plate on it and I changed to a Galazans 1" pad. Gun weighs in at 7lb 1oz if my scale is right. Haven't hunted much with it yet,but shot some doubles trap a couple times and managed to hit most of 'em. I think it might have a few good stories if only it could talk. Fred

1920-Vintage A-Grade 12-gauge

Post by Researcher »

Here are some pics of a 1920-vintage A-Grade 12-gauge with 28-inch 4-weight Chromox barrels and a total weight of 6 pounds 14 ounces. This gun had a good 3-inch drop-at-heel, hence flowed down the river of commerce when a straight grip 1918 B-Grade came my way.
