This was my turkey gun when my grandpa gave it to me in the early 70's note the long barrel and no camo.

In the mid 70's I had a camo paint job and added a sling.

In the early 80's I had the barrel cut down and a new camo paint job.

In the mid 80's I added the straight stock you see here and another new camo paint job.This is how it looks today except I added a diffrent sling.

No doubt thats a special gun Jalvja!<img src=icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle>I imagine its got more than a few turkeys to its credit too!<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Jim, if you put a notch in that stock for every single tom that you have taken over the years, you'd have a pistol stock by now!!! HeeHeeHee!!!! Seriously, great shots of &quot;Ol Betsy&quot;!!!
