Greg, I agree with Paul that Boswell looks really well put together. 28 inch barrels?
Raina and the Boswell make a classy picture!
Cheers!

Thanks Paul & Eddy for the very kind words. Raina is doing well, she has made a couple of mistakes, but overall, I'm happy with her. She will get better in time, of that I'm sure.
Anyway, just a little background on the Boswell. According to Chris Batha, who had the Boswell records, the gun was made for MAJ Stuart Maples and delivered on Nov 10, 1926. The cost was 38 guineas. Mine is gun number 1 of a pair, weighs in at 5lbs 12oz, 28" bbls choked IC/IM. I like her!
Thanks again!
Greg

Hey all, went out this afternoon after Number 2 son got off of work. We were out for about an hour and a half or so. I managed a limit and Jim got two. I was using my 16ga Ugartechea 1030 Jim was using his 12 Victor Sarasqueta 3EC Didn't get a pic of Raina, but she did well. Best! Greg

For those of you that compete with your hunting dogs. Number 16 made it to the 7th series and 23 was a finalist! 23 was the youngest finalist at 4 years old. Now i'm waiting for Oct 1 when the sharptail season opens and the 15th when pheasant opens. free photo upload
Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
