Don, yours is prettier than mine; mine's a damascus-barreled 12x12x32-40 that has had its buttstock replaced (ugly but sufficient) and its front sight as well. The bore isn't fresh enough to shoot cast bullets well, but it really shines with jacketed 165's--about 2" at 50 yards, and a 3" group on the pink blur that these old eyes saw at 100 yards--I really MUST get new glasses before I take it to the range again. I tried two light homemade blackpowder 12's and got decent bird patterns at 25 yards, which is more than the grouse in these woods will ever allow me. Between this one week old find, and my last year's acquisition of a Brno ZH-204 (7x57R/12ga) I'm set to be a combo-hunter for the rest of my hunting seasons. It's about time--I parted with my last drilling 30 years ago. Won't make that mistake again!
