Hey, David, (or CC), would you be interested in properly fitting the "non original faked up" barrels if I can successfully bid on old #35? You may also be interested in trying to match the "non original, mismatched, and faked up" forend that came on those barrels? I couldn't resist. I may be struck down by Missouri lightning for saying that. That's just the kind of rhetoric I had to endure to get the gun and the barrels back together. It was probably worth it. Bill Murphy

Postoak, if you would like a gun from Ted's famous cousin,J.C. Higgins, I have one for your collection? I thought Ted's cousin was Joe Mossberg.

Faked up guns are not news. Legit part for them is a little weird.
I was looking at a high grade, small bore, that is missing the fore end. I happen to have one and considered buying the gun and fitting it to the gun. I did not think that there was a need to send it out for engraving of the proper serial numbers, which seems to have been left of by the maker. But I can understand the temptation to do it because the sale price as is is about half the restored price.

Forgive my ignorance, I've heard the many tidbits here about "Bo Whoop" but don't have the DGJ article nor any other ref.
But, who was Nash Buckingham and what's the significance of "Bo Whoop"? Just the Reader's Digest version would do.

At first, I thought you may be kidding but I assume you are asking. According to some, he was the Faulkner of Wingshooting. Hunter, shooter, conservationist, writer(Da Shootinist(?) Gentleman(check gamefair.com for other 1st editions). He also had a column in a hunting magazine that I can't locate at the monument. Mostly from what I have inquired: it was a love or hate relationship.
Kind Regards,
Raimey

"Toys" ol'8b, was your word to describe guns/rifles with non-original barrels.

If I recall correctly, Nash was not "De Shootinest Gent'eman"; he wrote the story of that name. Didn't Nash say it was Harold Money?

I have a buddie that can replicate the sound that "Bo Whoop" made. Several years ago when we were shooting hi-power matches we bought some surplus powder known as BW-36. I loaded some for my 308 and my bud loaded some for a '06 Garand. My loads performed OK, but when he shot his '06 the report was a long "Bo Whoop" accompanied with a huge muzzle flash. Come to think of it, it was more of a BuhhhhhhhWoooooooommmmmm!!! He gave me the remaider of his powder,
