A butt ugly 16ga. NID Field Grade that probably was 30" (and is marked 2&4, F&M) when it left the factory but is now 28" and choked C/IC. The butt wears my first attempt at a leather pad so it doesn't fit well at all, the barrels have no blue and the receiver is silver. It's a late (1945?) gun with 2-3/4" chambers so I can feed it modern loads and I usually hit what I'm aiming at. I don't care what the weather is when I take it out.

Someday I may give it some TLC but for now I shoot it.


My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income.
