Grandpa's Gun

[West Augusta]

Grandpa's gun.
My Grandfather bought this 1875 Remington and Son's "Lifter" Double Barrel 10 gauge during The Great Depression for $5.  He, My Dad and my Uncles all carried this gun as they grew up.  When Dad got too old to hunt he gave it to me.  I ordered some low pressure shells from RST ammo and took a turkey with it.  Dad was sure proud.  First bird I've ever shot that didn't flop.  Amazing what #5 lead can do from a low pressure 2 7/8" 10 gauge shell.

Amazing shape that gun is in, and excellent that's it's still being used the way it was meant to be.
