Mallards finally showed up…..they really seem to take their sweet time the last few years, but when they finally get here it’s pretty amazing!! Gun is a 12 bore G.E. Lewis fowler, ordered by “HW Trist, of Tristford, Harberton” in December 1905 and delivered on January 4th, 1906. Ordered with best quality leather case and all the available implements. The gun cost Mr. Trist 38 pounds 18 schillings. Sadly, the case and implements are long gone. ![[Linked Image from i.ibb.co]](https://i.ibb.co/jg3McL2/33416294-4-A13-4946-9952-010177532-BB3.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.ibb.co]](https://i.ibb.co/Rz6DwLb/15-C5-AF49-9-C54-43-AC-AC96-BB4-B98-FFA63-D.jpg)

Nice touch on the Vanguard, Dustin, with the re-cleanable inline fuel filter.
Great pics!
May God bless America and those who defend her.

Great pics! Thanks, dude. That Vanguard has been giving me fits the last few outings so on Monday I took the carb off, stripped it to the bits and completely cleaned it (threw it, the jets, etc into the sonic cleaner, etc) re-adjusted the valves, replaced all the fuel & vacuum lines, new plugs, fuel pump, etc. Pretty much the full Monty. It purred like a kitten on the marsh today, I hope it keeps purring 🤞🏽
