After taking it completely apart, he sanded and refinished the stock, removed the rust and cold blued the metal. Remington Model 58 The reader refurbished this Remington at home.

On its first day afield in south Georgia, with sharp golden sunlight streaming through the pines on a cold, crisply-beautiful November morning, with world-class dogs pointing wild quail, that damn gun tumbled every bird I shot at. 7 ½ loads, as the game strap in the photo will attest. The old girl made a nice showing using RST 2 ½-inch No. It came back looking great, and today I had the pleasure of taking it out on a preserve hunt for chukars. I bought it to shoot, and so I didn’t mind having the stock rubbed-out, checkering re-cut, and the barrels and trigger bow re-blued. This one showed lots of honest use with faint case colors remaining in the protected areas only, and the scratches, dings, and rubs usual to field guns-but it was all original and tight as they come. A couple of months ago, I picked up a nice old Parker VH 12-gauge double-barrel shotgun on a 1 ½ frame with 28-inch tubes choked Modified and Full.

Stevens Model 94 This vintage Stevens single shot still does a number on the grouse each fall. What follows is a list of some of our favorite Blasts From the Past. Without question, though, the best and most priceless guns in this collection are the heirloom rifles and shotguns that have been in families for generations-passed down from fathers to sons to grandsons-and are still used in the woods during hunting season every fall. If you were to gather all of the firearms together into one massive gun safe, you would arguably have the greatest, most enviable collection of guns in the world, including classic rifles, fine shotguns, and even a couple truly rare guns (the Fly Gun?).
