I don't think I've seen an F with the frame around the game but the post-1900 guns do have more scratching. Took my FE this morning for skeet but light rain led to the use of the 1100 boingaboinga gun. I did go out to station 2 with two shells and shot the singles. Burned em both; first time I've shot this gun; right barrel choked 25 points. Nice high comb which differs considerably from the G I'm used to. This is the first damascus gun of the three I've owned which I shot without pulling the string from a distance on the first few. Guess I'm over my phobia. Puller is a friend who walked away calling me a fool couple years ago when I bought a SAC damascus double in Baltimore. He didn't seem to have much problem standing behind me today so I'd say he used to think I needed a keeper and now thinks I don't--equally bad assumptions on his part.
