GETTER!

42" Colerain "Griffin" profile 16 bore barrel with a full jug choke. Chambers lock. Very stripey colored Oregon walnut stock, steel mounts. Weighs right at 7lbs.

Just to show you I can do something other than grind my fingers off....

Mike,
Beautiful gun! I'll bet spring can't get here soon enough for the owner of that one!

Looks darn good. Especially for a feller with ground down fingers

Took a few, didn't turn out. The camera has taken on a mind of it's own lately. $:-\$

If I recall, it was something like $600. These pictures really don't do it justice, it's really alive in hand.

Another dandy Mike! Congrats!

"Merry Christmas" to the Happy owner!
Get it in full sun for pictures...I know ..not much sun lately......Nice wood!
Those turkey choke barrels throw a very tight pattern.
Tennessee turkeys don't have a chance now!
Get well soon..
Thanks for posting...

Mike glad your fingers still work. This is one of the best fowlers I have seen. Very well done Sir.

It's a beauty!

Wow your workmanship and wit are wonderful!

Now yeah did it Bill. Mike not only has finger damage. But now shoulder an brain swelling. He is going to be a mess. LOL

You just work fast. Workmanlike. Great lines, balance and composition. Your work is a diamond in the rough as opposed to a polished #$@*.

I absolutely love it. Great side plate and carving. You need more pictures of it posted on your website.
