Reminds me of the day pheasant hunting with my Dad and his best friend, Herman Steinke, about 1950. Dad shot his 12 gauge M21, which I know own and shoot- Mr. Steinke had a 12 gauge Fox double- I wouldn't have known the grade back then, at age 9-- but I recall all the engraving. Lots of pheasants and also quail that Nov. Saturday back then, and Mr. Steinke had shot himself out of shells-so Dad gave him a few Peters blue paper shells- and after firing both barrels at a large covey flush, his gun would not open easily. (he made a double on that covey rise however).. I have a 20 gauge Sterlingworth (Utica gun) but I have not yet experienced those problems with it-I bought it well used from a grouse hunter about 12 years ago, as I had hopes of our State getting a legal dove season-- Hope in the right hand, crap in the left-see which fills up first I guess.
