That is why I mentioned the article in Parker Pages,about 7 or 8 years ago- I know that because I used it for a while at the Sagola MI SC event over Father's Day week-end, 2010. Brad was there with his booth, and when the converted VHE had a "hiccup" with the cocking slide, I left it with him, and picked it up later from his shop in GR- Brad is my numero uno shooting partner at our Fruitridge Farm Pheasant Club, has two fine Labs- Max and his son- Tye, and was just out your way with his son Parker at the PGCA fish and goose soire in Baltimore. I hope you had the chance to meet him. Master craftsman indeed, and one hell of a fine field companion to boot. As the late Paul A. Curtis once said "The field is the touchstone of the man". See you at the Southern-will you shoot the pumpgun event? I plan too. And you can bet a box of Linda's famous fudge I'll be shooting a Model 12--
