‘Ol Rabbit Ears

[Smokey Plainsman]

Here’s my brand new detonator-fired double barrel fowling piece:

It’s a Penderseldi 12 gauge. This particular gun got lost in the mail from Dixie Gun Works but by God’s will that situation resolved itself and here it is.

This gun is an absolute hoot. I enjoy it muchly! I’ve tried buck, ball, and bird. TONS of fun!!

I’ll be trying my hand at sporting clays with it as well as squirrel and rabbit.

Also, I plan on posting an article about the Confederate usage of the double barrel shotgun during the American Civil War.

Stay tuned gang!

Good looking gun, I like that finish on the barrel and stock, very nice.

So how did Dixie fix their screwup? Or was it the USPS causing the delivery delay?

I don’t want to say. I’ll offend people either way. Already been yelled at for it, let’s not go there.

Who was it that quipped "A gun without hammers is like a spaniel without ears"?

I like the ahh-coutremon' too, especially the cartridge box.

Thanks, I had them lying around and they fit the paper cartridges nicely. They’re buckshot loads, made by Gimcrack Bunkum.

Nothing worse than hurt feelings and offended people…….

They are fun guns. Curious, what did your new gun weigh in at?

I don’t have a scale handy but it’s very well balanced. It’s not overly heavy whatsoever, no removable chokes.

The last one I handled with removable chokes was muzzle heavy at best for lack of a better description. Good to hear yours is well balanced. Always a shot in the dark ordering sight unseen online.

It balances perfectly at the wedge.

Not only is this gun a hoot, it’s a holler as well.

Very nice piece of walnut! Are the triggers consistent?

I'm glad to hear that your shotgun found its way to your home.

Thanks!

I'm jealous. Awesome piece!

Smokey, could you tell us more about your Penderseldi? It looks like a Pedersoli, but I've never seen a stock on one like that, or the barrel finish. The ramrod on yours looks pretty nice, not what a Pedersoli normally comes equipped with.
