There was only a Sterlingworth and Ithaca Lewis remaining in the gun cabinet after my dad and brother grabbed their guns in 1968. I still remember the first mallard hen I shot with the Sterly from my homemade duck skiff in the Horicon Marsh. 45 years later and I am still using it.

This is like a disease! It just keeps getting more expensive as I get older. I started with American guns that just never fit me well unless I restocked them and then I moved on to longer stocked, lighter English guns. I am not sure there is a cure or remedy for this illness (except for one thing and I would rather not go there).
