Ed Hemway has 2 shotguns, one of which he is loaning or giving me. The one turned over to me is complete and ready to shoot, whereas the one he keeps for himself is minus a stock. Every says he always prefers to fit his own stocks. I wonder if the "drop" can be changed, once the metal part of fun is finished, as it would seem that the angle of the metal arms or lugs, to which the wooden stock is fastened, would determine the "drop."  In addition to the gun Ed has brought along a horse for my use. Here again he gives me a horse that anyone can handle, while he keeps for himself a more or less intractable, or at least unbroken, animal. He explains that this kind, when properly trained, are more loyal.
