In 1956, I bought a 3 inch chambered superposed from Stanford Sport shop in Palo Alto , Calif. I worked graveyard at Varian Associates and went to school afternoons. During the duck season, I was on the San Francisco bay every day in a scull boat or in a blind. At the end of the season the Browning, having digested 1 7/8 loads, lots of em was loose and all the Blue was worn off it. Salt water and poor maintenance....Bill Donaho, Stanford Sport shop, woudnt even believe it was the same gun...It went back to Browning and passed out of my life shortly after...Killed a Bunch of ducks tho...Went to a Model 12 waterfowler, 3 inch, solid rib..
