oh and by the way a buddy of mine inherited a single shot 12 gauge years back that had a pistol grip cut from the stock and a 6" barrel. Barrel was a old damascus relic. The pistol grip got tossed, the barrel got made into a heck of a hunting knife by a blacksmith and a new stock set and new barrel for the gun ran him in the $100 range. He still squirrel and birds hunts with that fine old gun.
Wish I had known you had it. Would have asked you to pound the barrel flat with a hammer and sell it to me for $10 for forge food. Not damascus in the old JC Higgins, but still REALLY good knife steel.
Just saying.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
