Fellows, the hunt did not go so well, only a few birds this year. The Merkel does shoot well though, had very good success with it, not choked much, may have been opened up at some point.

The slots on the screws holding the side panels are very thin, my Brownell's set does not have a bit that small and I am afraid to grind one down any further. I have buggered enough other guns lately.

Hunt with vintage classics.
