Harsh. Really, my wrists just ain’t what they used to be. Oh, vision is down a notch.

But, the neurons don’t seem scrambled, just yet.

Best,

Wow!! You just gave me the excuse/reason I was searching for to slip another one into my safe. My lovely wife is tired of hearing about the guns I have bought for her - that she has never seen!! While on the subject since I am 73 with a bad back and shoulders, I have found myself drifting to the smaller gauges and lighter guns in the past few years. For so many years I thought it required a 12 gauge to kill anything larger than a squirrel or rabbit, but rest assured I have come to dramatically different conclusions thanks to many on this board leading me with their discussions into the world of the small gauges. I now hunt upland with nothing other than a 16 Dickinson double or an A5 (new gas powered version) in 16 for the largest and a Dickinson double and Ruger o/u 28 for the smallest. But, there is yet hope for me to completely go over to the small gauge side - I just picked up last Friday a little Turkish made .410 that is just slick as an eel!! It gets baptized on quail this year.

[quote=Stanton Hillis]I remembered that thread about the Baikal face lift when I saw the pics of it again yesterday. It surely was a transformation.

Once again, well done, damascus.[/quote

How can I find it? I would like to read it and see the early photos. ]
