Cool gun, Tony, with TONS of potential. I look at it and see how it will look once you're done with it - beautiful! And yeah, your son is obviously pleased with his new gun. You're right, it'll be a natural progression from his .410 and he'll be able to hang with this gun for quite awhile - it's a REAL gauge, you know? Not so dodgy as a .410 (don't beat me Chuck H!)
