The gun is listed as sold. Thanks for all your advice nonetheless.

The Marks showed it was proved for 'semi-smokeless' powder.A good learning experience, and makes me apreaciate my 16ga. Laurona purchase even more (the one you advised me to buy Mr.Brown). He loved carrying it the other day, and got a shot off at a flushing grouse.

There is a used Mossberg 20ga. o/u for $565 at a quality gunshop. Hmmmmm...

Don.

Life is too short to have a 'hate on' for so many things or people. Isn't it?
