The Pumpermeister has no "after" pictures of scotch as he drinks good whiskey.

Well, I'm not quite a teetotaler like Sundog, but I stick to wine and beer. Therefore, the red face has to be from too much sun. Or maybe from a Purdey self-opener and misdirected snap caps . . . :)

You remember, two years ago I think. Doug's gun. Did some damage, and the only time I've seen Brown red.

Didn't do any damage, but I was damned lucky!

Anybody else notice Larry B. has a lot of problems with ejection?
Posted: Thu Mar 13, 2008 7:49 am
Yes, but WE were too polite to mention it.

How did you two notice the problem?

That particular incident was certainly a case of premature ejection.

How did you miss it? Brown had an ejection right in the middle of Larry Swanson's main room. The ejecta landed right in the middle of one of Doug's tables. Very Scary.wingshooter wrote:How did you two notice the problem?

It remains a classic bit of Brown lore. Funny now, but just barely. Well no, it's not funny at all.
Larry B. had tried the triggers of a between the wars Purdey 12 bore of Doug's and hit the toplever. It may have been his first Beesley because the next thing we saw was the result of a self-opening gun combined with perfectly timed, STRONG ejectors. Two nickle plated snap caps went sailing over LB's shoulder in tight formation, landing amidst a myriad of fine London guns.
Wow!!
How this isn't in 1st place for Brown stories ahead of the "Man Eating Woodward" I do not know.

I shoulda known that sucker was a self-opener, Voss! And I think that may have been the same Flatwater when I encountered Egbert's flesh-eating Woodward.
Can't even use the excuse that I'd been drinking.
