If it was David, it just might be on 35mm.
There is a picture of David, with his trusty 35, documenting an old gun with MM.
I still shoot film.
Best,
Ted People have a hard time posting digital pics here. Posting 35 mm photos is going to be even more fun. We may be speculating and guessing for a while... I still have my Canon AE-1 and an Olympus compact 35 mm camera. Haven't used either in quite some time, but you never know. Vinyl LP's have made a bit of a resurgence, so why not film?

I'll call David tomorrow. I wanted to give him a chance to get the gun back and look at it. He only had a phone call at the time I talked to him and was upset at losing the barrels to his Purdey.
There are two things that might impinge my getting photos. 1) he doesn't do computers anymore. I might be able to talk him through taking photos and forwarding them. 2) He can be protective of the information - he mentioned possibly writing an article but I'm not sure he has the energy anymore for that.
Alternatively, he's mentioned several times wanting to talk to Dr. Drew. Drew has posted photos for him before. If I fail, I'll let others follow up. At the least though I'll get a description.

Just a suggestion... perhaps he might be able to text a few cell phone pics... if he isn't saving that for an article. Until then, here's an old thread about a burst in one of those new-fangled fluid steel bombs. Pictures also optional. https://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=13496&page=1

I can easily take pics with my Canon and download them to my computer off the SD card, but seldom do anymore. It's so easy to use the camera in the Droid cell phone I already have on me and send them to my computer. And, the truth is, the camera in the Motorola Razr Maxx HD is much more forgiving ............... bad as I hate to admit it.

Stan, to answer the question in your tagline:
I'd be old enough to know better, but still too young to care!

I'll call David tomorrow. Too bad you weren't here when he still posted here...I recall one post he made showing how he repaired the splintered wrist of a shotgun stock that had been ran over by a Land Rover...I think it was a Boss unbelievable job...not so sure I believed it looking at all the broken pieces. If I recall right he worked at Purdeys...I suspect his old age let's him talk to you about a pOOr Reiley.

I still have my Canon AE-1 and an Olympus compact 35 mm camera. Haven't used either in quite some time, but you never know. Vinyl LP's have made a bit of a resurgence, so why not film? You might want to consider a CLA (clean, lube, adjust)on one or both if you consider keeping them around. It is getting harder to find folks who do that. One of the premiere Canon wrenches, based in California, just retired and moved home to Japan. Had my F1 overhauled before he left. It should run the rest of my life. The premier Konica guy, Greg Weber, is still at it. Not a young guy. I usually buy a CD with high resolution images when I have a roll of film developed. Easy to post pics anywhere with a 35 doing that. I’ve also used the wife’s printer to scan images, or, simple taken a digital picture of an image to post it. Best, Ted

Do we REALLY have to go through this again Frank. And I'm still waiting for your apology for accusing me of being a liar; not very Southern Gentlemanly. Steel and leather handguard over the thin spot  You'll like this; just past the forcing cone  Been using it regularly for 3 years with 3/4 oz. at 1185 fps handloads, after Col. Byron had put 250 2 1/2” 7/8 oz. Polywad Spred-R shells, 100 2 1/2” 7/8 oz. at 1145 fps. (about 8000 psi) loads, and 2 cases (500 shells) of 2 1/2” RST 3/4 oz. at 1100 fps (4,600 psi per RST) though the barrels. I'll let you know when it blows up. Deal with your past hurts, anger and hostility Frank; you'll be happier, live longer, and might even find a friend or two. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3019061/
