And since I'm the one always taking your photograph--at your request--while you hold the birds I've shot--I'll pass on the pic. Now, if you'd offer it blown up to say pattern board size I might accept.... John McCain is my war hero.

(29-29/32") Seems like a beveled edge could be replicated (if a bevel was originally on the barrels) by anyone equipped with a file and skilled enough to shorten barrels. I was hoping the prize was a no expense paid quail hunting trip with the world famous celebrity AM himself. Last edited by Chuck H; 03/11/08 05:04 PM.

Mr. Hallquist, Please tell us some more about guys tweaking the ends of their bbls. I've come across a handful of Lefevers with bbls that appear by have been snipped 1/2" - 3/4". This always seemed odd to me. What you're saying may be the explanation. OWD Last edited by obsessed-with-doubles; 03/11/08 08:20 PM. Good Gun Alerts & more: www.DogsandDoubles.com
