Item Description: back in the day of American greatness, when men made their living with milling machines and lathes, and they walked the high steel, hammering near molten rivets into good American made I beams 200 feet above ground, no safety harnesses in sight. They lit their Pall Mall, headed home to a home cooked meal, made by a sweet wife wearing a crisply ironed cotton house dress. On the way they passed kids playing outside, kids that said yes sir and no ma'am. Kids that mowed the lawn, carried out the trash, washed the car, and they didn't give you any crap about it while they were playing on their I-pad.
One of those men walked into a hardware store, back when they sold good American made items a man could use, instead of rubber slip on shoes and bird feeders from China, and he bought this iconic, dove and rabbit slaying, piece of good American steel and American black walnut. Made by hard working Americans, who took pride in what they produced. He selected the 28" barrel, because that was the right thing to do. He bought the modified choke, because he could use it for most anything. He paid a little more for the hand checkered stock, because he could, and he deserved it.
Well, that man is gone, the Pall Malls killed him in the end. That hardware store was paved over and a Starbucks stands there now. Those kids had kids of their own, and they are holding hands around a wedding cake with two guys on top of it. My how this country has changed. But you can still own the lasting legacy of that day, and this Labor Day weekend you can watch those doves once again fall like rain as this American beauty dominates the sky.
