Hey Popplecop..

I have to agree with ya about that drilling. It's sure a purty one. I had 2 or 3 over the years. Also had a vierling. However it's spelled. But it was a 16x16x 30-30 x 22 Hornet if I don't disremember. Just too much stuff to remember to shoot 'em far as I'm concerned. Only had one drilling that was a 12 ga but had a wild 8 x 51 with a 318 bore. Couldn't find bullets for it. Had to make my own

One of the hardest guns to take down to clean was one of the first gas guns made..High Standard made a gas operated auto loader that was a bear to clean. Mainly cause it was so hard to figure out how to start. The bbl was not removeable. I still have one here. Guy gave it to me cause he couldn't keep it running and owed me money...so I acquired it I guess.. It actually works just fine...sometimes. But it's a 3 inch gun and I hardly ever use it. Last I shot it was at a couple of geese 2 yrs ago. Kilt 'em but they were kinda right in the decoys. Geese round where I live ain't shot at too much. Never fly out of shotgun range generally. They really ain't as edjumacated as the geese back there in Md

Thinkin about that 4 bbl gun..The last wasn't a Hornet. It was a 22 WCF. Like a Hornet but not as fast.
