My best friend passed away in May. He wrote a barely legible note to his wife to leave me his Vanguard 257 wby. He died the next morning. A few months later I asked his wife if she still had his Browning Pump Shotgun and she said she would sell it to me. I removed the gun from his safe, pointed it at the floor, cycled the action, and ejected three shells including the one in the chamber. The base of the round in the chamber was quite rusty and had likely been in there since a Duck Season or two past.
