A few years back,my recently deceased grandfather gave me an old muzzleloader shotgun he had bought off a deceased estate back in the late 40s ( nearest I can tell ). She was pretty rough,so I took her to Allan Vaisham of Green River Rifle Works in Adelaide,SA, to refurbish and give me the ok on. Once I had the thumbs up I took her out hunting,but not too often,till recently when grandpa died,and I decided he would want her to be used. So the last 3 or 4 weeks she's been accompanying me virtually ever where,especially to work,and has taken quite a few pigeons,rabbits,a crow,and the odd starling. I've yet to shoot a fox with her,but I have tried,and it will happen soon enough. Tonight I managed 2 rabbits after work,and a starling,and if I'd loaded BOTH barrels instead of one,I'd have had 3 rabbits. Ah well,that's fine by me. She's still feeding grandpa's family,albeit another generation.
