I bought it from a friend earlier this year after doing some horse trading with some other guns. It is great and does well with long shots out on the marsh.

A promise of things to come:



This pup was quite ill the first year of her life. 2015 really counts as her first season, and while she has a ways to go, I think she will get the hang of it. The auto-immune disorder she suffered hasn't hurt her nose, from what I can see.
Special thanks to my hunting buddy, Lloyd, for tolerating the two of us on this trip.

The Darne 20 gauge R10 was purchased from it's elderly owner this fall, and was built in the late 1940s, and had never been fired or used in all those years. I had to dismantle it and clean oil and grease that looked for all the world like hard varnish out of it before I could use it. But, use it I did, and will continue to do. A spectacular find with useful 25 1/2" barrels with IC and MOD chokes. The gun gods owe me nothing, that is for sure.
The look on her face seems to indicate she is ready for more. But, this was the end of a wonderful trip to Lake of the Woods county.

Best,
Ted

Same trip, previous day, same gun, same dog, me, and Lloyds birds, just prior to evening cocktails.



I wish it wasn't a 12 hour commute. I've had a great time every time I have been there.


Best,
Ted

You've likely mentioned it before, but, what is the story on the boxlock with the proper number of triggers and the straight stock, seen above?
Nice looking gun.

Ted, thanks. It's an Arthur Ilsley 16 gauge most likely made in the late 20's early 30's from what I've been told. BLNE, 5 lbs., 12 oz., C/F. Reproofed in London in 2009 for 70 mm and 1 oz., but I shoot Polywad 2.5" 7/8 oz; their low pressure spreader in F and low pressure Vintagers in C.

Lloyd,
Who was the maker on your gun? This one looks like it could be the #2 to yours.

Best,
Ted
