Then found a really nice 20g NS. Being 6’3” , I had to add a slip on pad to make it fit me , but shoot them I do. I’ve let Boy Scouts shoot their first SxS with them. Thanks for the post.

That is the one I use. I am sure he is long gone but his gun still gets out and used on occasion as it should. NS are solid guns that are a bargain. NID's as well.

Someone cut the stock back to 13 inches, for a child I assume. I've been on the look for a replacement stock for sometime now.. It's a standard version, 26 inch barrels. My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income. - Errol Flynn

Jimmy W Sidelock Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 6,523 Likes: 162 Tree City	Originally Posted by FallCreekFan Knowing winter began today, I had to take advantage of yesterday's sunny and calm conditions - out here on the great plains "calm" means winds under 15 mph - and take the Nitro Special out for a little "exercise." As I loaded the trap and a bucket of birds into the back of the truck the NS made his pitch. Since he spends his days next to his cousin, the A grade, he wondered if it wouldn't be an even better idea for both of the Fall Creek Lefevers to get out for a little sunshine. I didn't need much convincing and soon they both were cased and we were on our way. It turned out to indeed be a perfect Nitro day, easy to be grateful for simple pleasures as well as glorious blessings, and the A grade, in particular, was so "on" that he got to shoot 25 pairs. Everybody came back to town smiling. As we head into this week that is a high time for most of us, but for others not so much, I'm hoping for all of you as well as your friends and family a Nitro kind of Christmas. !

Parabola He could actually do both. The time frame of a kid going from needing a 13” LOP to needing a longer one, is brief. Don’t ask me how I know. Best, Ted
