1944 Springfield Armory. Restocked and finished it myself, shooting my own reloads. Glass bedded it too- it's a real tack driver, and a hoot to shoot.

That's a pretty gun Mike. Love those barrels! I can just picture Doug working his finger tips raw getting them polished. Looks great!

James, when you put all your money in guns something has to give. In Mike's case, it's footware.  Gil

It most certainly is a very pretty gun.
I have never seen one in the flesh.

Too funny Gil. Those dogs have definitely seen better days.

Sad thing is they're not that old. Have yet to find shoes that last a reasonable amount of time. Tired of Nike lasting a few months, so decided to try New Balance. This pair was even worse.
I had had good luck with Vasque hiking boots in the past, but production has for a while been in China, and they don't last either. The longest lasting boots I ever had were WESCO logging/lineman boots out of Oregon. Still have a pair from the 80's I'll wear for rugged chain saw work, but they really hurt my feet in short order.
James, good to have you post. Hope you are feeling better, and look forward to seeing you in about three weeks.
Mike

O.M James (canvasback) has one of the finest you'll ever see, and I hope to shoot it in about three weeks when we link up in Nebraska for sharpies. The gun has a fatal flaw, however. It's a 12. Mike

Mike Thanks for the kind words Mike. Not 100% yet but a little better. BTW, when one like mine comes along, you don't quibble about gauge! LOL
