Greg, I agree with Paul that Boswell looks really well put together. 28 inch barrels?

Raina and the Boswell make a classy picture!

Cheers!

Thanks Paul & Eddy for the very kind words. Raina is doing well, she has made a couple of mistakes, but overall, I'm happy with her. She will get better in time, of that I'm sure.

Anyway, just a little background on the Boswell. According to Chris Batha, who had the Boswell records, the gun was made for MAJ Stuart Maples and delivered on Nov 10, 1926. The cost was 38 guineas. Mine is gun number 1 of a pair, weighs in at 5lbs 12oz, 28" bbls choked IC/IM. I like her!

Thanks again!

Greg

Hey all, went out this afternoon after Number 2 son got off of work. We were out for about an hour and a half or so. I managed a limit and Jim got two.

I was using my 16ga Ugartechea 1030



Jim was using his 12 Victor Sarasqueta 3EC



Didn't get a pic of Raina, but she did well.

Best!

Greg

Hey Mike, nice look iron there. I would assume she's Spanish.

Who's the maker?

Best,

Greg

Thanks Mike, I used to have a Sarriugarte. It was a good quality piece. But, one I sold, when I shouldn't have......you know!

Thanks again,

Greg

This one is a 12 Gauge Royal
I was able to buy a Silver 20 gauge barrel and forend on EBAY and
low and behold I was able to fit it to the action smile
I had choke tubes from a Brittany and they also fit perfectly.

YEEEE HAWWWW

For those of you that compete with your hunting dogs. Number 16 made it to the 7th series and 23 was a finalist! 23 was the youngest finalist at 4 years old. Now i'm waiting for Oct 1 when the sharptail season opens and the 15th when pheasant opens.
