Ryan,
I listened to this yesterday. Adam's audio was a little garbled and Ashley's came in perfect--not sure why. After listening to them, I went to the matched pairs website thinking they had made some changes, but it is the same site with no updates. Joe Hall's picture is still on the site. Joe started an interesting concept of matching broken up pairs. There are a lot of single listed looking for a match. It would have been nice to know the actual success rate. As you may be finding out, you enter your gun, but never hear anything. Joe did call me on a match to my number 2 gun; he saw the number 1 gun coming up for auction. Somebody liked it more than I did.
I did like the short discussion on steel shot and where the UK shell manufacturers are working to support steel in 2 1/2" guns. It will be interesting to see where they are at the beginning of next year's season.
Your Sidelever Atkin sounds like a nice gun. Atkin may not be a "top tier" maker, but he definitely made some best guns.
