Let's see some pic's of your SxS's & O/U's

Would it not be something if these old guns could tell us their story.I watched a show years ago where they followed a violin from its origin to present day. There are some that could truly tell a fascinating history.Friend of mine installs ducting for AC and with our heat bloom last summer was working in a rural house in the Fraser Valley.Crawling around in the attic he finds 3 shotguns sitting on a piece of plywood covered in dust.They for sale he asks the owner who replies damn forgot they were up there,been there since the long gun registry started,but no I will give them to my relatives. Great story perhaps if they were sxs I might have pushed harder to get to the gent,but alas old A5 and couple of pumps.Wonder how many are still "up there"

We are trying. For very obvious reasons the last couple years have been a no go originally because of venue closures followed by gathering size limits and, as venues reopened, a move away from general public access. But we are working on a couple ideas. Hopefully we'll be able to have some concrete plans in a month or two.

Depending on group size restrictions my club is still open to non members. However itd be a bit of a drive for most

Oshawa is still an option. GM did say they could accommodate once covid protocols are gone

Thank you all, it is a 12G 2 3/4'with 28" barrels choked skeet/mod.LOP is a long 15 1/8 which is perfect for me .Proofed to 1 1/8 and the barrels are like mirrors. I have it from a reputable source it is 1947/48 vintage .Probably made in the British tradition for a particular customer who wanted the longer stock.I purchased this after conversing with canvasback about duck hunting with fine older shotguns and admitted there are a few places I could truly enjoy doing this locally that don't involve salt marshes and layout blinds. This is a complement to the Dougall that I acquired from Ashcroft who I must thank as well for assisting me and my MANU 16G..My little sxs collection is starting to grow but have some really nice pieces ...now if I could talk Jim out of that 10gauge :)..
