Really nice gun Craig. I don't ever recall seeing a double trigger Crown previously. Not that I am an authority by any means but I've seen a few Crowns. It has to be one of a very few I would think. Congrats on that one.

104 out of 639 12ga Crowns were made with double triggers, only 39 were made with extractors. So this gun with extractors and double triggers is quite unusual, but my preference.

Only 104 ever, pretty rare then IMO. My preference is the same as yours. Sweet gun!
