Well, the engine was shut down and we were drifting, and the person running the .50 was/ is a State Trooper. Good to know Pennsylvania's finest can shoot. The 31 was one of those deals you can't walk away from. It's an early gun with the checkered forend and surprisingly good wood. It was also dirt cheap. I'd seen it last summer and was tempted then. This trip got some schedule revisions and I gave away the gun I'd took a bit sooner than planned. Got to shoot something on those Pennsy ruffies.
