I never considered that.

Next week, if you shoot a 17 with it, let me know what you want for it I'll keep that in mind. Unfortunately, there are a few guys ahead of you. And, I shot 22 with it, yesterday. Trap doubles, just for kicks. I can say, it is not a skeet gun. Not my skeet gun, anyway. Best, Ted

It's a very cool looking old Halifax, Ted. I find those push-through safety buttons a pain regardless of which side they're on. Someone who really knows his Darnes once shared a safety work around involving the action key. I'm trying to remember what it was.... Good luck working through this dilemma! Do let us know what you decide.

Bill, You can use the opening lever as a safety, if you keep it up to the point that there is just a bit of daylight between the breech and the barrels. The gun can't fire in that position. Some people find it easier to simply close the action at the flush, as opposed to manipulating the safety.
Best, Ted

Sometimes, they come back... I sold this gun to a guy I consider a friend, although I have never met him in person. He used it a few years, along with several others, a V21 and an R15. He has moved across country, and for many reasons doesn’t need the spread of guns he had before. He kindly contacted me first, and offered me first right of refusal. I didn’t refuse. This gun was built around the time the Titanic sank. It is a short chamber 12, choked about IC and IM. The barrel walls measure .056 thick at a point 9” from the breech, they are monsters, the guys at the factory loved thick barrels. 27 3/4” in length. Being newly right handed, I was very happy to get it back. I’d guess it has about 3/8ths of an inch of cast, and it comes up as well as anything else I am playing with at the moment, in my fidgety gun mount that needs work. It is so cold at the moment, practicing my mount is about all I can do. Still thinking about a pad, but, that would ruin any cold weather use of the gun, as it would be too long with my wool coat on. Cold weather screams 12 gauge. Money shot, for Argo: Best, Ted

Had to give jOe a like for that post on page two. He should be recovered from that alcohol/meth induced rant from the deleted Miller thread. ______________________________ How’s school going, Toad?

Those who hunt in cold weather and make their own pads, make two. One for the cold, one for the heat.

Online, dude. Going well. Do it when I got a minute.
It’s free, you know.
Unlike that RBL you don’t use.
Best, Ted
