I'm having a hard time locating my photo file on my computer for this gun- just saw it a couple of weeks ago! Here's a similar one that sold several years back... http://www.ospreyarms.com/category_details.php?i=2&id=112I've posted photos before on the SW Spanish forum and Upland journal-let me try to locate those threads.

here we go (from Upland Journal, Sept 2009)-
www.uplandjournal.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard312a/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=1;t=51603;hl=hey++partridge+cartridge
My gun can be seen on page 2 in the link to Gunsamerica under "Strato-caster". You can click on the photo for the entire photo gallery, open a picture and click on it to enlarge it. The story of how the gun came to be farther down the page is interesting in and of itself.

I paid 4750.00 on Oct. 10' 1994. Not sure of engraving; probably standard. Steve was the salesman. I was completely satisfied with the transaction. Stock was shortened and butt recheckered by NEA. Was subpoenaed by US District Court for records of sale in Oct. of '95. Still have the gun . Will be shooting preserve quail tomorrow. Highly recommend RST 16 ga 3/4 oz loads.

Thanks for providing the links kimbo. You have a very attractive gun there -- despite it being a 16.

Jimmy Austin is still alive and well as of about 7 months ago. I generally call him about once a year. He has been staying in Florida where he has a house, and was doing realestate deals with his wife.
He did tell me that he had either sold his house or was going to and moving back to Maine.

Why ask what you know about showoff, Lol. Because I like to showoff as you said. Just another stupid question as you jolly well know. Be Good! Greg

Steve McCartney was the fellow running the show in Mr. Austin's absence.

Steve McCartney was the fellow running the show in Mr. Austin's absence. Thats his name,thanks, could not think of his last name.Quite a character and lots of funny stories. I saw him several years ago at a auction in Manchester,think he said he was doing real estate in Boston.
