Eddie Hines, well known Hills

his ktest acquisition, a fancy
.carved and engraved shotgun
, 1 which he believes Xs the rflnesl In
the country.
Hines, who is near the, top among
, trap and skeet shooters in North
Carolina, recently acquired the
shotgun while attending the Live

' [ original owner, a gun handler in a
"l New Jersey city, bad it fixed up

j the stock and other w'ood portions
of the -gun and engraved with 14

Hines added a gold Miller trigger,
the best made, to the basic weapon,
a Model 21' Winchester, which 4»e
believes is the fidlest gun in Amer

The ’New jersey gunsmith who
fixed it up for sale valued it at
$3,500, according to Hines.
Hines prior to acquiring the
fancy gun has won a number of

He has participated in the Grand
