10 Truths About 12 Gauge Ammo Most Owners Never Know 🔗 THE BENCH BOOK + 2 TOOLS → https://dylanbenett.com A man named Hollis Ravenscroft-Pike brought a shotgun to my counter in October with a split in the barrel, and he wanted to know who he could sue. He is sixty-nine. It was his father's gun, a side by side he had inherited in nineteen ninety-four and shot maybe twice a year since. He had taken it out for doves in September, put a box of shells through it, and on the eleventh shot the barrel opened up about four inches ahead of the chamber. Nobody was hurt. He got a burn on his forearm and a very bad afternoon. He wanted to sue the ammunition company. The shells were fine.
