Dave,
My PH Fishtail is a most unusual gun. It started life as a 12 gage,30" twist steel barrels. An Army Officer,while in England had Teague Gun sleeve the chambers to accomadate 3" 20 ga shells. The gun was then fitted with true 20 gage barrels using the original monoblock.Cost was around $4,200 to do all this. Work is flawless,you can not find a seam..nothing! Gun barrels are still 30",original ribs still on gun read "twist" and are fitted exact. This gun weighs in at just over 8lbs.It is a deadly clays gun and has killed a fair share of doves here in Texas. This is one 20 that reaches out there and it  swings like a 12.Regards, Bill

Hi Charlie,
I have never shot a 3" load in it but have shot heavy Winchester Sporting loads at 1300 fps..gun is heavy and recoil is very light. This work was done at a time when lead shot was still ok.I am sure many ducks were killed with this gun. Really is a great gun for clays especially when they are the long birds we shoot in Texas.Chokes are IC and IM ,use spreaders when I get a close one. Just the gun for the White Wing doves that offer a lot of pass shooting.. Regards, Bill
