nr davis brand guns have a rep as being sorta unreliable and clunky as well...

if your budget can stand $500-600, get him an ithaca lefever nitro special...a well made, well balanced, reliable little gun, that is a joy to carry and shoot...


Do try to find one that hasn't had little round burn marks from a torch put on the metalwork, however. Better to leave them as found...
