to leave no evidence of my foul deed, I plan to toss it into an abandoned farm pond after my last hunt.
The upside to that is you could tell everyone where it is and nobody would bother it, in case you ever came back.....

I love your rape and butcher job. What pond do you have in mind?

My favorite double shotgun is my little Waldlaufer (drilling!) 16bore with the 22lr in the rib. It's as light and handy as any other light sixteen bore double boxlock, it fits and hits right, and I get to bring a 22 rifle out with me wherever I go.   Cheers Tinker

It's hard because I like different guns for different types of shooting. But, I hunt mostly upland birds and my favorite is a gun I bought with bad barrels and a short stock many years ago in London. It is a Hollis Bentley and Playfair 12 bore, weighing about 6 1/2 pounds. I had John Foster sleeve the barrels at 28" and put on a wood stock extension. Sometimes, when I thought I had missed when I was pulling the trigger, the bird falls anyway. Choked .008 and .018. It is also a pretty gun and I just enjoy the art of it.

I'd say a Lindner Daly tops my list but any Austrian/Bohemian/German double will do and today it was a BüHaG(held by my youngest Jaeger) with an August Schüler frame and Simson tubes of "Special Gewehr Lauf Stahl"(Izhevsk crucible steel grade 50A) probably from Izhevsky Mechanichesky Zavod.

What!?!  I was only 20 years old in 1972! Hmmmm.... maybe you're referring to all that hair that used to be there?

I've been looking for one of these for years! I heard of one with a broken stock but was never able to chase it to ground.
