Well....the little Flusie works all right. I used some different (2/3-inch!) shells in it today (super lightweight Fiocchi Target 3/4-ounce stuff) and after putting a cinch-on pad to gain a little LOP, I went for a short walk with the dog out at the local club. Busted some clays to make sure everything was copacetic (the Fiocchi Target loads were much softer than the 2 1/2-inch Gamebores I used to function-check it last week. They really belted me!) and then went looking for "leftovers". We had the place all to ourselves today, as it was quite blustery and fairly cold. One bird was foolish enough to allow us to get close, and then flew in a shootable direction (most try to head back to the pen).
The gun is surprisingly adapted for a right-handed shooter, from the noticeable cast-on, to the right-handed trigger-set, to even a little toe twist. If I'm going to adapt it to a more-neutral setting for myself (& my son) I'm going to have a do a fair amount of work. Later American guns simply do not have these nice little details, especially the Field Grade versions.
