I admire his father. Two guns with dedicated purposes. I'd like to get down to three: one for birds, one for clays and the 94 for everything else.
That doesn't sound like such a bad deal. Trading Maine for Hawaii.

Re: Hawaiian Fox comes across the pond
Tom, great find, and cool story of how it ended up in HI!!! Glad you were able to connect w/the seller. His Dad had a great Maine Grouse and Woodcock gun for sure!

Just for comparison on Tom's experience with the USPS, a new purchase left a smaller town in Alaska by Priority Mail on Thursday afternoon and got to the Anchorage Hub at 2 am on Friday morning. Apparently it's stalled there today for Juneteenth but tracking shows projected delivery to me on next Wednesday. Let's see if that happens. frank
