I haven't read this whole thread so it may have been mentioned before but when I was a young man living on the Nort Sea Coast in the N.E. of England all sweaters/pullovers/jumpers were referred to as 'Ganseys'

Well...........it's my joke/cartoon dangerous game rifle :p. Really a black plastic Stoeger Double Defence (?) 12ga with a paint job (insert embarrassed face here) and a cheap Weaver 'scope mounted on the supplied pic. rail for effect, looks OK from a distance or in a mellowed photo! Fun to...

Thanks!

I have a box like that! :(

Thanks and actually that strap & slot slip over the hammer to help with retention. Can't see it in that pic. but there's a tunnel loop on the back for one's belt.

Here's a fun project: Still a work in progress of course, but a cheap Stoeger 12 bore getting dressed up to impersonate a heavy double rifle......at least from a distance :)
