I finally got out the digital camera and took some shots. As usual, most were fuzzy, but this one was pretty sharp.
From top to bottom:
1922 Winchester Model 12, 12ga full-choke 28" barrel
1930 Browning Auto-5, 16ga full-choke 28" barrel
19?? Remington 870, 20ga full-choke 28" barrel
Do you notice a pattern here? I bet that these have amassed a pretty fair number of birds over the years, and they still function beautifully.
When I've got more time, I plan to take some pics of the A-5, since the wood on the stock is actually very nice.
Also, if any of you care to nominate some other classic field guns, I'd be happy to entertain the thought of adding to the collection. At some point, I would like to add a Model 21, but aside from that, I don't want to descend into the monetary hell of collecting old SxS shotguns.
