Do U find early non-SxS's interesting?

Similar to Parker, Fox, Lefever, etc double guns, many of us have our favorite maker and model of repeater because of actual/perceived good reasons and often just plain nostalgia. For me that's the Winchester Model 12 whether for hunting or clays shooting. Reliability is right up there, something I can't say for other vintage pump gun models I've seen being used at events. I'll repeat what a friend said while three of our gang were shooting clays with M-12's on Wednesday ….. they should have stopped designing pump guns after the Model 1912 came out. Ha! Besides, Model 12's with ribs "got the look" that few other repeaters whether pumps or semi-autos can even come close to. Yah I know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

There are few scenarios nicer for M-12 clays shooters than can happen at an event along with B, K, P o/u's and competition gas guns with the latest hyped up screw chokes, and having their owners see you grind up the clays with an old fixed choke Winny 12 that fits well and almost pumps itself.

Strangely I like the look of a doggy dick (Cutts Compensator) on the end of a Model 12 vent rib gun or A-5 and even an 1100 skeet gun . A Poly Choke however is another matter as I loathe those things .
