Ted: The M 17 is one that Ken did some (absolutely beautiful) scratching on for me. A favorite dog who crossed the Big Divide last fall on one side and a Desert quail (Gambel's) on the other. I will post appropriate photos when it arrives, hopefully in the next day or two. That M 17 is the first shotgun I ever owned, it was under the Christmas tree 50 years ago. It belonged to my grandfather; he made the stock on it and it is beautiful as well. It does have a Polychoke but that's what people used in those days so I kinda like that as well.
