Thank you for your post, Stan. To me, it's 24-caret gold, confirming my suspicions. Except for a cyl/f Parker hammer 16 0 grade, all my fixed-choke and insert guns are IC/M. As a football player, 40-yard limits are taped to my heart.

The Parker sort of ruined it for my son on his first shoot. A crossing black way outside the tollers, I was going to say too far, and he dropped it stone dead first shot from the blind. He never went gunning again; maybe too easy. I couldn't convince him otherwise.
