I look at guns as women. Beauty is skin deep but ugly is clear to the bone.
I have a beautiful tournament shotgun with a three gauge barrel set I named "Darlene". It selects which barrel to fire on it's own. Barrel selector gets jammed so it won't fire. Has mechanical triggers yet sometimes won't fire second barrel. I've sent it in to get fixed but it comes back telling me they can't find any problems.
I enjoy beautiful guns just as beautiful women. If they have issues they are better off down the road.

Boxlock or sidelock...I have and love both so long as they are reliable.


With a fine gun on his arm, a man becomes a sporting gentleman, both on the field and off.
