    Thanks for all the compliments.

    It would mean a lot to me to take a Tom with this gun. Obviously its not my 70yrd scoped Moss 835 with win LB XR shells. I know I would have to be close and I'm confident I can make that happen.

    I don't even know if they make a "legal" turkey shell for this gun. If I took it to Scott's and he gave it the green light and I found a shell that patterned well enough should I take the gun into the field? What would you guys do?

    Obviously I don't want to damage the gun and would be extra careful with it but when you're out in the field theres always a chance that could happen.

    Old guns can still take game. One of my Pieper Bayard Hammer guns with a pair of blacks

    Those shotguns are fantastic! The OP's grandfathers gun is outstanding in several ways. First aesthetically, first quality, secondly an heirloom. The guns I own that I will NEVER sell are those passed down to me. They will go to younger family members who share mine and my antecedents love of guns and admire a previous generations manufacturing skill and also the ability to produce art work out of blocks of steel and chunks of wood. If none exhist then a friend who shares these feelings.
    The guns I make or buy...they are on the chopping block. Though I try not to sell, as in a few cases, I find I really miss them, even if I didn't take them out to 'stretch their legs' often.
