I'll see what I can do, Lloyd. That would make it a 12 gauge trip for me, likely this one, and the R10 with the sling.
The good thing is, there are half a dozen spots I could get ammunition for the R10 at between Baudett and the tin shed.
The bad thing, none of them would have 2 1/2" stuff. Or, Winchester Featherlites.
Craig,
Thanks. I'm the guy who could rebuild a carb, who went to France, and learned what is inside a Darne. To me, part of owning, say, a Morgan, or a Gypsy Moth, or a Darne, is, that you the owner can be the best mechanic for the task at hand.
There are some qualifiers that go with that, patience, good tools (bent nail not withstanding) and a bit of skill with same tools. A man's also got to know his limitations. I haven't noticed the internet thingy to be littered with pictures of dismantled Darnes just yet, so, perhaps that notion is solely mine. I'm not a trained gunsmith, but, I'm the next best thing with a Darne, and that is good enough for my guns. I haven't wrecked any, yet, including those where my help was requested. I've fixed a bunch of them.
I hope we are all here to advance our knowledge and that of others. This was my effort.
Best,
Ted
