I have a few that I bought unfired in the box but I am not actually the
first person that owned them. I do have a 6" md 28-2 that I bought
new in Oct of 1966. As for a story; one day in about 1968, I was at a
local shooting range shooting the 28. Back then the range didn't have
nearly as much in the way of benches, backstops and frames as it does
today. I had walked downrange to get closer to the dirt mound back-
stop to fix a target and had left the 28 and it's two piece box about
50 yds behind me on the ground. I turned around just in time to see
some stupid little dog just disappearing over the hill onto the road
that led to the range with the top half of the 28's box in it's mouth.
I just said a few choice words to myself and walked back to the gun
and went back to shooting. Looking back on that I now wish that I
had ran back to my car and gone after the little bas**** but as they
say, hindsight is 20/20.
