[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 4151724, member: 44288"] A Monkey Wards Western Field Manufactured by Stevens on a Browning patent model 30? It was a 12 Gauge takedown 34 inch barrel full choke the was still so good a dime wouldn't pass through it. It had been well used with almost 50 % of the bluing gone and a brazed pump arm. I had to wait for everyone else to shoot then I could shoot or I would tear up the birds. I think it was a Goose gun. I bought it when I was 16 at a farm auction north of Dover for $75.
