Is the charge weight a misprint?


Out there doing it best I can.

Plenty of wood on the comb to shave it to fit, Stan. You could easily get it to 2 3/8" at the heel without affecting the aesthetics of the buttstock.

I think 7/16 was the “new” charge when they went from 2” to 2 1/2” .410. But if it has 5 ton proof levels nothing should give it any pressure problems. Tried to look it up on line but without my books at home to get me to the right area, nothing seems easy on line.

7/16 ounce, couldn't have been made as a 3" gun. 3/4 ounce 3" .410 in a 4 pound 6 ounce gun is a whopper. Oh well, at least it's cheap. If I get hit by a truck, Linda has instructions to mail my 30" .410 Skeeter to Stan.

Maybe it could be bent down if it shot too high, which it probably would.

I'll look in my Rollin Oswald book to see what he says about moving patterns down by changing pitch. I can't remember what he says about that.

It is pretty short and already has a pad. If you are short, that may not be a problem, I guess.

Beautiful little gun. It’s so light, I bet it would be very challenging to shoot well. Might be a good investment though?

A problem that would be so easily solved, as I do on so many of my other doubleguns that don't have as long a LOP as I need. A Kick Killer lace-on pad that is quickly and easily removed before going into storage.

I have another .410 double in that weight range that I shoot well. Where the weight is located in the gun has a lot more to do with how it handles than just the weight alone. I've found that, for me, shooting a very lightweight gun like this requires an entirely different technique. I cannot swing through with any gun under 6 lbs. I have to have the gun moving in time with the bird even as I bring it to shoulder. Then, as it hits my shoulder pocket and my eyes become aligned with the rib I press the trigger. Very little movement of the gun between mount and shoot. Almost like you're hitting the trigger the instant the gun hits your shoulder, but it's actually a split second after.

I'll learn a lot more about it if I get to handle it at Bray's Island next month. Maybe it'll already be sold by then and I won't have to go through the angst. I have to admit to hearing a certain siren call, though.

Does anyone have any insight as to why the case label is J. Ormiston & Co.? Is there a connection between this firm and Morris?

Yes, a lace on pad is a pragmatic, if inelegant, solution. I do that with a gun that I think I might like before I invest my time and money in fixing. But that one is to short to fix in a way that I would find satisfying. Stock extensions and pads over an inch thick, similarly, do not work for me. For that kind of money, I'd not want to use it with a lace-on as a permanent arrangement. But it's your money.
