Yeah, Stan,, I wasn't sure if Pumpkin Mtn carried any barrels that were checkered and haven't been on their site in a while. Sure would like to know if the original tooling from [ultimately] Savage, was acquired and ever put to commercial use by a business that may longer be 'in business' anymore? Thought that I heard something like that a while ago... any how, your find of the 32's is quite fascinating in itself! I shot a friends 32" bbl Parker on Canada geese and it took a few misses before I 'harnessed' them but then it was a great joy to reach out a bit with confidence. - jmc
