I'm taking a page from Pisgah, UGLY gun.
The club I belong to has X amount of birds to stock thru the season, today we are putting out birds. Not wanting to take my Red Label or my CZ out in the rain I decided to grab my Ithaca single barrel lever hammer gun.
When I got it it was a rusty mess, wood was shot. I gave it a couple coats of black spray paint, got new wood from GPC. Barrel had been cut.

Re: Dreary morning
Yep, gotta have one for rough use. I have an H&R of the same configuration. It looks funny with a polychoke, but I can adjust things to the conditions.

Everybody should have a FOWL weather gun.

I have an M-66 as well. Not pretty, but quite functional.

Re: Dreary morning
It rained all morning, still dreary but the birds were plentiful and the Ithaca cleared his throat 4 times, today the hens flew and the roosters held. I was alone other then the dog. She grabbed 2 roosters, had to take them away from the chocolate maw, both flew but I didn't shoot since I needed to put the gun down.
Yes black spray paint really does look quite good at a distance.
Cylinder bore, 7/8 oz of 7&1/2's are just devastating on these birds, now I remember why I started shooting small gauges.
And it's got a LEVER!
