"Crossing the line"

Nie one Fred!! One of these days I'm gonna have to try one of those single bbl guns.

Good choice, A model 37 featherlite was my 16th birthday present in 1967. Still have it and have never had a moments trouble. We had a lot of fun together.

I recently bought a Winchester Model 12, mainly to have a representative of this American classic in my collection. I am also looking forward to shooting with it.

Love them Model 12's I have a 12 gauge 2barrel set and a recently found 16 gauge. Next is a nice 20!

I'm with Dave. If I was'nt so obsessed with Parkers I'd be shooting a M12 every weekend at clays. A 20ga. solid rib M12 is in my future. I just have to find one and I'll see if I can make a deal for two of them... one for me and one for Dave. (although it will cost more than $200-sorry)

Mine is a 16 gauge and is an early model which is also good. The bluing is almost all gone which I like because it means this gun has been on many good hunts.

The first time I shot the gun was a week ago at the annual RCF&G corn roast. We open up the trap range after eating and before any serious drinking. I brought the gun and a box of assorted left over target loads. My frend, Jeff, forgot about the shooting part and didn't bring a gun. Being short of amo, we signed up for for a 10 target flight and passed the gun back and forth, sharing amo. Jeff killed nine and I got eight. He wanted to know if I would part with it. It will shoot where it's pointed. We are going to SD the end of October and it's going with me. I will have my smith check the bore/choke relationship (it's stamped mod) and see if it can be used with an oz. of Black Cloud #3s where notox is required. A Parker will be going, of course, along with the two dogs. At this point, I am leaning toward my Gaddy restored GH 12. It's choked 0.009 right and 0.032 left (good grouse gun too). For it, I use an oz pushed by PB to about 1200fps.

I suspect that the sellor doesn't understand that one can safely shoot damascus barrels. If the gun has little rust on the outside or inside I'd shoot it with RST loads. It'd look at the thickness of the barrels too.

If the gun closes tight and the barrels look okay with little rust and the muzzles don't look thin I'd shoot it. It certainly is a pretty thing isn't it.
