For the most part, I like my American guns stewpot plain!
...and not middle management - I have arrived.
and
Timothy, the "hunger" has been replaced with the comfort of knowning I've a damn well good enough gun. I will keep the Beesley Sle 12b., and prolly sell/trade the rest.
My interests today are modern smallbore rifles and small game hunting. My land is an easy short drive, has plenty of game and the seasons are long. With all that goes with old shotguns and shotgunning today, my tastes have changed(still will chase a duck or two).
So I guess those plain American guns in your closet are smallbore rifles?
