Craig- I especially enjoyed your article on the ten gauge L.C. Smiths. You don't have to apologize for your lack of journalism skills, as you don't have any, IMO.. You and I are brother waterfowlers from the get-go. I usually use a Model 12-12 gauge, and mainly pass shoot over decoys- it's been years since I have shot divers from a layout boat, but in a brooding snow storm, about as tough shooting as it gets. I have a 1930 era Ideal 12 LONGRANGE- 32", DT, AE. About 8 years ago, I had the late Master, Brad B. open the chokes from F&F to Imp. Mod for bismuth--and convert it from the HOT to std, DT--which I prefer. It is also a great turkey gun. Hope you'll do another waterfowling piece for DGJ soon. RWTF
