I used to have a couple of field grade NID roller stampers. They're gone. Got a Flues 4e with lgtwgt swamped-rib barrels and them little Froggie ramps either end [sidebar: Walt S. says Ithaca collectors are getting smarter; I'm counting on it] and a Flues SBT. Nothing that will set the world on fire but walnut stump wood and chisel work that was done with a graver rather than an awl does get in your blood. If the bore mic doesn't drag over too many pits midbarrel, it's a bonus. I feed the need the best I can and hope it won't mean stuffing cardboard in my shoes.

Happy Harvest Home is around the bend.
Lowell I hope you get to harvest more than a key bOard this year. Most people want to progress in life...seems Lowells wants to regress with his field grades.

I like field grade guns. Hell, there's nothing I'd rather do than find a whole passel of like new Smiths, Foxes, Parkers, Ithacas, --- hell boys, get real. We all wish they were back in the hardware store and sporting goods stores' racks. They are a part of who we are (or were, maybe). Chops As a child I was happy to get a field grade gun and proud of it...but given the choice even a young boy would choose the higher grade.

I use in the field the nicest gun I can get my hands on!

All the while you've been on the keyboard h0mie, knocking the keyboard - I've been on the tractor cutting my road for the Glorious 1st.
Didn't shoot, but the Kimber was there for vermin and poacher alike.
h0meless0ne, are you club bound?

"Most people want to progress in life," now there's a hoot h0mie.
By the time the Golden Era of shotgunning had arrived, your guns were already too old.

I have a 20ga L.C. Smith field grade. I think it's an elegant gun---plain. Fine lines, good performance. I wouldn't want it dressed up as a chippy with hinges on its heels, at any price. I thought all men felt the same way about women.
