AGS, you have whetted my appetite unfortunately. I have hated to admit this but I shot my old 870 as well or better than my SxS's and this has got me thinking about pointing characteristics...probably why Church 120 years ago created the O/U. I really can't abide that o/u heresy but a single shot .... that's another thing...especially since the family of my wife, the grandfather-grandmother etc. of my children...are from Saint-Chamond a short distance from Saint-Étienne. The always referred to Manufrance as "La Manu."
I fear I will have to smuggle something into the house. I have reserved the last space for the #2 of my 1886 Reilly 16 gauge s/l SxS which is now hidden away by a guy in Massachusetts. But I have that old $5 single barrel legacy gun stored with my brother. Perhaps I could claim it were a Simplex, if I could find a good one, and smuggle it past the gate keeper? Switch and look innocent? Admit nothing, deny everything, make counter accusations. ("Ne rien admettre, tout nier, faire des contre-accusations.")
