| Sprocket, It is a bit of rubber. This is the first double gun that smacks my middle finger. |

What's the church key doo-hickey thing on the belt?
Nice touch with the brass shells. |

| The church-key looking device is a shell extractor. The large end fits around the head/rim of the case so as the remove the case for the chamber if it can't be removed by fingers. Extractors only. The smaller end is to extract a brokern case that left part of the case in the chamber. I have had a couple paper cases separate in the chamber. Cut myself on the extractor trying to get the front part of the case out of the chamber. The brass cases are what I will be using in the gun. It's chambers are 2.5" and the brass cases are 2.4". So far they are working quite well. I shot a round of trap with the gun and brass shells last week. I broke 19 of the clays. The barrels are choked really tight. I intend to use spreader loads for hunting. |

Great looking gun DDawg, and you must be very proud of the restoration work you did yourself! Shoot it well, and in good health! I always wanted Elke Sommer myself (was she Swedish?), but I'll be your girlfriend will be truer!
