Sounds like a fun side event Frank. I'll drag my M12 up to Ernie's next week and welcome anyone else to join in with Frank and I with your favorite vintage pump.

At one time I had the M12 bug in a big way but they have all gone to other homes. My favorite was a M12 20ga skeet gun. I did just buy a "new" M42 solid rib skeet gun but as it's never been fired I'll find someone who wants it more than I do. I have always like the M12 but the M42's are just as nice.

I love my Model 12,s. But I find the 42,s a bit light in the front end

Frank, Daryl - I'm in. I'll be bringing a really special 20 gauge with 32" barrel.

I won't go into the M12 vs M31 debate. I own both -- like both - and each can hold their own.

But I will say the Remington Model 17 pump gun built specifically for only the 20 gauge shell is one heck of a gun. The one I have weighs a lively 6.0 lbs on the nose with a 30" barrel that carries, points, swings like a pool cue and delivers death whatever you point at.

OK Frank, how much do you want for it? That sounds like a fantastic gun. Is the 32" 20 a M12 or what. I'm just nuts for 20 ga. guns.
