Bet she always "depended on the kindness of strangers"-- When I shot the "pigeon ring events" in June 2010 at Sagola- I shot an early 12 bore Smith Grade 2E--originally barred with Damascus-early style ejectors- but it had been sent back to Fulton about 1929-fitted with a set of 32" F&F Nitro Steel barrels with the Gifford Simmons designed Raised ventilated rib- and a semi-beavertail design forearm. Has the earlier style 2 way safety, double triggers and a Hawkins pad-- weighs 8 and 1/4 lbs. 1&1/2 " pitch- 14&3/8" LOP from front trigger, 1&3/8" DAC, and 1& 7/8" DAH-- I often use it for Geese (with RST Non-Tox loads- it has 3" chambers, but NOT a LONGRANGE series Smith) and it "shoots where I look". Would live to try it on some boxed birds, but MI does NOT have any such venues- Nor, sadly, a dove season. RWTF
