Greg, friends, feathers and family--doesn't get much better. Good to see the girl smiling. Mike, you are to be commended for using the same screw in two different guns.  Great scene on the sideplates of the old Elsie--doing what the gun was made to do. Gil

Gil, I know you are just teasing, JR is the one with the screwed up issues  About the screws, I like them as I get the guns MUCH cheaper Quality guns, one or two bad screws = great price. And there is no degradation on performance. When I can buy a Trap Grade Smith on the cheap because of externals I do not look a gift horse in the mouth. Mike

Mike, In looking at the trap shooters depicted in your last Elsie's engraving, they appear to be in vertically striped uniforms. You suppose they were on a prison shooting team?? We all (well, some of us) have guns with warts. Why not? We owners could probably use some repair as well. Here's my favorite gun wart collection. It's on the scalloped stock of a Turner Light 12 made between 1875-87. There are at least 5 shot holes in the stock, some repaired with lead putty. I had Mark Larson repair a non-structural gouge near the fences, but wanted the shot holes unrepaired and visible, sorta like a Prussian fencer's cheek scar. If the gun could talk, I'd love to hear the story behind that shooting. Gil

Forget the frigging shot holes, what on earth is that? A "scalloped" stock? Wtf?
