Title: Great Grandfather's Double .410
Post by: cuppednlocked on April 16, 2013, 11:29:17 AM
*This is a cross-post from the General Forum*

My nephew used my Grandfather's/his Great Grandfather's 1925 double .410 this past Saturday to kill his first turkey (first hunt of any kind using a gun/second ever hunting trip).

3" 11/16oz #7.5 at less than 7 yards proved deadly.

Gil, the serial # puts it as manufactured in 1925.  It is a Lefever Nitro Special.  My Grandfather bought it in high school to rabbit hunt.
