I need to put this special date in my journal... Destry AND HomelessJoe on the same team. All I can say is... Good luck George L. good luck.

I Am Sorry I Brought This Thread Back.

From our friend George the expert on British sport and sporting guns:

"I didn't know that you could drive ducks"

Another brilliant quote:

"I've lived a long time and in places you've only read about."

Yes George, you're absolutely correct, I've never spent any time in an insane asylum.


Destry

Any idea what the gun went for?

jOe: Sorry for the delay in getting back to you but I've been busy selling those "carcker barrel guns" Sold two today. Buy 'em for a dollar, sell 'em for two or three. After awhile that 2 - 3 percent will add up.

Thanks Ironman: I need all the Good Luck I can get.

Franc: Seeing as how it turned out I'm kind of sorry that you did too.

Destry: At least I'm man enough to admit what I don't know. Some of my good friends right here on the Doublegun BBS are lunatics (no names mentioned of course) BTW: How do you drive ducks? Do you do it with African beaters, bullwhips, or tennis raquets?

Professional: I bought it for a little under $5,200 & paid Jim $2,500 for restoration.

Best Regards To All, George

Whenever I drive ducks I usually put them in a child restraint seat in the back of my car, that way they're safe if we quack up.

PH: I LIKE THAT ONE!!!!!......George

It's referred to as rallying ducks not driving them

I'd like to hear Smallbore's take on this one.

What say ye, Diggory, did the English ever put "stalking safeties" on shotguns?

jOe - I believe the term in Britain is "flighting" ducks on a baited pond, generally at last light.
