fine looking indeed ! that is a nice looking piece !  8)

so dont go away ............................................................... like the guy said when i bought a harley davidson      ... "oh you'll be back , for everything you need to make the thing ....run ." and he was right ,

that was all you could expect the amf days in 1984 .


stay here and you can learn about 250 years of cannonage in about a year or so .....because this IS THE place to learn .

i could be wrong it is more like 400 years or so .  ;D and thats a good thing !

That there is one great looking Mountain Howie. I bet it will probably speak with profound authority. What do you think will be the next addition in your addiction?

     Very nice job, Dynomike!  Great looking gun.  What's your standard load in this piece?

Regards,

Mike and Tracy
