Congratulations! Beautiful animal

Holy Christ! At first, I thought to myself- interesting thread, maybe I need an older bespoke English shotgun. Then after reading all the nonsense of acquisition, I thought- no way, too much hassle I’ll just buy American. That way, weblyish will still have guns to choose from…
