After a handful of great seasons with birds a plenty, we are now in the doodle doldrums. Warmer, drier conditions limit when and where we go. Yesterday, I went by my lonesome accompanied by the MuttPak, Willa and Abby. Birds werent holding. I was calling dogs in at the truck when they struck this one. Tugs worms from the ground Twitters without an Iphone Flies through pick up sticks She's not dead. She just smells that way. Abby rolling in whatever she can find that smells worse. An old dog does good Knows the short cuts doodles take She chuckles at miss.

[By the way, has anyone else seen ejectors with screws and escutcheons on the side of the forearm like this? This is my first ejector gun, and it seems to be a bit unusual in this regard and I don't know why.] Brentd
Brent, they remind me of the "eyes" on an ejector Lindner Daly...Geo

The eyes on a Lindner gun secure the Deely box ejector system, likely the same on your gun Brent.

Thanks, Keith, George. The shells are my handloaded Cheddite paper hulls, cut to 2". I'm using International powder, a BP gas seal, 3/8" Alcan Feltan-Bluestreak fiber wad, 7/8 oz. #8 and roll crimped. A forum member generously shared his unfired, primed paper hulls with me in anticipation of my loading shells for my 2" 12 ga. I should get minimum of 3 loads per hull. Gil

Having never seen a Lindner Daly, I had to google it. They look very similar, indeed. I am sure their function involves the ejectors, but all the ejector guns I have seen lack this. Most seem to anchor into the forend iron - which seems much simpler and a bit more robust. Something new to learn.

The dogs and I had fun yesterday in the cattails but the birds won. They were really bunched up, several hundred in one tree row and they were flushing hundreds of yards out ahead. We put up one rooster in the cattails which I hit but we did not put in the bag even though we spent a good half an hour looking for him. Great to get out. Pretty sure this will be that last hunting season for Lucy, she is showing her age at nearly 12 and coming up lame after even short hunts. We walk daily so I might get a few runs out of her next fall. She loves it as much or more than I do but I do not want to push the old gal too hard.
