OP Tim Carney Sidelock Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 999 Likes: 9 Washington, DC	Was out on Maryland's Eastern Shore with 23 year-old nephew Monday and Tuesday. Was his first hunt for Canada geese and for Hungarian partridge. He shot well, with three geese and a number of Huns brought to bag. For geese, the short 10-gauge guns were an 1885 Lefever C grade and a Darne R-16. For Huns, we used a pair of Dickson round action 12 gauge guns ordered a year apart by the same man in 1899, but with new (Made by Another) steel barrels. Believe we have a new bird hunter. Best of the Season, Tim

It's CHRISTmas - gifted guns to worthy recipients have special meaning. Last edited by Ian Nixon; 12/21/11 02:46 AM. Reason: additional text

I like all of your guns but those Dicksons are stunning and talk about beautiful lines!! Oh, I almost forgot, what type of shells were you using? Last edited by treblig1958; 12/21/11 10:42 AM.
