JHolland

What is your neighbor's land like, and do they have any quail on them? I have 400 acres in central Alabama, and I have hunted on it every year since the mid 60s. We had a lot of quail when I was a kid, and then we had a lot again in the late 70s after most of it was clearcut. Once the planted pines were about 5 years old, the quail population went way down and has never recovered.

About 20 years ago, I made a real effort to restore the quail and turkey population. I had 22 acres of the pines clearcut and turned those areas back into fields, planted field borders, started a yearly prescribed fire plan for the timber land, and planted lots of wildlife plots of various things. We have seen a definite improvement in the turkey population, but not the quail. From my experience, and a great deal of reading and talking to others, I believe it's possible to really help the turkeys on a small farm, but you need a lot more land to make a positive impact on quail. I don't know the minimum size, but I think it's into the thousands of acres.

In places where a lot of landowners are managing for quail, improving a small farm can make a difference. If you are in an area where nobody else is doing it, I don't know if it's possible. For some reason that I don't fully understand, the quail need to be part of a large population to thrive.

We still have a few around and it's not unusual to see one in the summer, but a huntable population just doesn't exist. I think you could have a lot of fun releasing pen raised birds and hunting them over the next few weeks, but I doubt it's going to do much towards establishing what could become a wild population. I have thought of doing this too, and probably would if I still had a dog. Try it and tell us how it works out.

I do not find 1 oz (and heavier) an issue in a 6#er, but I do not launch them at light speed fast. What is your velocity?

The short barrels and thick rubber butts may pull the balance back a little far and make them a bit heavier than necessary, but the bidding has been reasonably atronf so far. They went up another $250 last night.

I can’t tell if it is wood, or ebony or rubber, or, what? A leather covered pad would correct it, however.

“Ruined” is when some moron cuts the barrels to 18”.

Totally different.

I’ve got a Spanish gun like that. Pitch is right, LOP is right, everything is right, but it hurts when it goes off. Light, for a 12. Maybe 6lbs and a little change.

Best,
Ted

Just watched this video again and have a question. What is it that the semi autos have slung under the barrel? Looks to be a flashlight??? If so, why?? I have seen this in several videos and just decided today to ask.

In the sales room, sure. My experience is the better English ‘smiths will happily tell you to stick a project that is too far gone where the sun don’t shine.

God bless ‘em.

I don’t imagine you ever got to see the warmth and charm that was a bilious Bob posting, back in the day. THAT GUY was the likely Supermax inhabitant.

I’d suggest you leave your post up.

Milt,
Damn, that is a nice old gun. Might just be me, but, I can’t imagine uncorking a full house 2 3/4” load in a 6lb 12 gauge. But, the proof says you could.

I like the swivels and the wood. Actually, I like everything. Use that one in good health, brother.

Best,
Ted

Gene,

I thought it was quite amusing, although jOe may not share my views.

It reminded me of the story about the group of Fenians lying in ambush for their English landlord.

After an uncomfortable few hours crouching in the gathering darkness one was heard to observe “I do hope that nothing has happened to the poor ould gentleman?”

Re: Webley & Scott 700 L. Brown 07/19/25 12:19 PM
In terms of numbers produced, the 700 series guns played an especially important role in the overall history of Webley & Scott. From W. and C. Scott Gunmakers by Crawford and Whatley, which although a slim volume, contains a lot of valuable information on the guns:
"Approximately 85,000 double guns, of which the Model 700 series accounted for one-third, were produced by Webley & Scott from 1897 to 1979.

Now that I have a couple vintage 10ga doubles I would like to find some loading tools for them such as a powder/shot measure etc. I have some brass shells. Anyone know of a source for vintage tools? Would like to have an original powder/shot measure to start.

I consigned the Griffin & Howe custom 1903 to Poulin's Fall Premier Auction along with the restored fully engraved 2nd year Browning A5. The thrill was "resurrecting" them... I'm hopeful I recoup the money spent to give them a second life. Feel free to bid early, often and way too much... smile
