Simmons also offered a Dakin Gun Co. "Quails Fargo" with 22" VR barrels choked Sk 1 / Sk 2 made by Gaspar Arizaga. |
A good friend of my had a Dakin gun he bought new. It was deadly on grouse and Skeet. But it did not hold up! After around1500 to 2000 rounds it was shot. The problem was soft steel. Harry
