May 15, 2018 by Conner W.

With no prior military service and an affinity for wing shooting, it took a while for USGI builds to reach the top of my list. In fact, I was planning to build a new snow goose shotgun when the opportunity to start on an A2 build landed in my lap. Of course, I couldn’t pass it … Read more
