This is an old picture. (10+ years ago) that was taken at Beaver Dam. That is my SW 12 ga ejector choked full and fuller. The picture was taken on the front porch of Horace Miller's and Molly's house. At the time the picture was taken the old house was used for storage. And yes I'm wearing a tie.

That is a great picture, rvans. I've stood on that spot, but I did not look nearly as distinguished and erudite as you do.

Thanks for sharing that with us, SRH

That is a damn nice picture, Mr. rvan, and a pretty nice Greenhead. I have been there too, with Stan Hillis and our HE's!

one of these days - and hopefully with an HE

but- i just picked up a SW with 32 inch 2 weight tubes - choked .022 (a short flat spot, so opened) and .042 off an auction-

turns out they failed to mention it is a composed gun- lots of work to make it all right, but who doesn't love a challenge :wink:

my first thought was to part it out - but the stock (replaced, and needs some shaping) fits me so well, it may just make it to the marsh after all

Been through that whole stock reshaping scenario recently. Well worth the effort. My "new" set of extra 32" barrels are in TX being fitted to the 30" SW Ejector right now. When he finishes them I'm going to get him to send it home and I'm going to shoot it some with the barrels still in the white before finishing it all up. I may have the barrels tarted up a bit with something that says "MADE FOR S. HILLIS, or some such silliness. :D

Good luck! SRH

GREAT picture! Love the tie - reminiscent of the days when "gentleman sportsman" was the norm. Well done, Sir!
