Courtesy out here, I don't use a whole lot of fold of money. I don't make a whole lot of fold of money. It's just a barter system. It's a whole lot more fun than that.

Common pull the wine out of your pocket in the Clearwater mountains of Idaho. Bear Claw's horse jockey is sidelined for three days while recovering from symptoms of equine arthritis. Receive Fleeton, get it, the shoe right. Trade it off and get us a pack horse in need of a new pack horse to haul essential water reserves.

Bear Claw plans to barter with one of his most valuable possessions: this gun. Looks great for its age, but it's just, you know, sat around for 50 years maybe, or longer, and it hasn't been fired. Well, I reckon we should give it a whirl. I'm not sure if this gun is trustworthy. If it hasn't been shot for a long time, then you don’t check it over really well. You just throw a shell in there and the shooter's gonna blow up. I'd rather be safe than sorry.

All right, we're ready. I want all you all to get behind me, and then we're just gonna kind of do a little easy tugging on there till we hear that gun go off, if it's gonna. Or, oh, smoked!

My hidden bear claws confirmed that his 3240 won't backfire, but before it can be used as currency for trade, he'll fire a test shot to ensure it's properly sited. As we say, it rendezvous a fire in the hall.

Tell you what, that is the nicest shooting cartridge of a gun I ever shot. Triggers really light, the barrel's really heavy, goes off great. That gun shoots very, very well. Next guy that fires it, he's gonna get whatever he shoots at.
