Ran 100 straight in our Maryland State NSSA Shoot with a Sun Light (maple stocked) 20 gauge a few years ago, but lost in the shootoff because I thought I should use a real skeet gun. I missed on the first pair of the shootoff with my Krieghoff.
According to the barrel codes, it was made in september of 1953. Provided the barrel is original...
