Re: Slip on pads

Many years ago I bought a Browning Citori 20 ga. straight grip 28" Invector choke from a walk-in at our local firehouse gun show for an obscenely low price. He had had the stock cut down to c. 13 1/2" so his wife could shoot skeet with it and she decided she wanted to move up to a 12 ga. i...

Re: They Come Around Again

Bill Moravek's Nimrod Gun Shop in Leesburg was a wonderful little shop on the main street downtown. Bill was an interesting character; he and his son ran a couple of high-end photography stores in Washington DC for several years. Bill was very knowledgeable about British and European guns and always...

Re: The Southern 2026

Special thanks to Jeff for doing the "hump" work of booth setup and maintenance, and to all who lauded our efforts. Tom keeps me "on point" to focus and add commentary on the great guns brought in by "walk ins" even though it cuts into my cigar breaks occasionally. Grea...

Re: Fox CE 20 ga. SN200664

I side with Foxnut and Silvers - I once shipped a $35K Westley Richards .476 Nitro Express double rifle from the East Coast to Chicago for a purchaser; I had it appraised, photographed, records of document from WR copied, and insured it to the max. estimated replacement value beforehand. I shipped i...

Re: Previous Owner Modifications

The hole in the rear of the TG may have been to anchor a rubber finger protector such as sometimes seen on double trigger guns to prevent the trigger "biting" the second finger to the trigger finger in recoil. (Usually a result of not gripping the gun firmly enough). Kevin

Nobody knows. Many cards have a small number in the R, but its meaning remains a mystery.
"RUSH" order so maybe required/desired in 4 weeks or months? Kevin

Researcher wrote: Mon Mar 30, 2026 8:39 pm Kevin, I doubt there is a Wayne Junction address ejector gun. The earliest Sterlingworth Ejector I've recorded is 58901, well into the Model 1911 era.

Yeah I guess i was thinking of Pin Guns in general; I've only ever seen 2 of them with ejectors, both well beyond the Wayne Junction address era.
