Thanks Drew, Jim

One ad for the Quails Fargo by Dakin referred to it as an "import". Maybe Dakin sold some Union Armera guns under the "Quails Fargo" name. I got that information on google.

The plot thickens

Simmons sold Dakins

I had a "DAKIN"12GA./26"/ WORM BEAD/ with amazingly nice wood/ and "hunted the feathers" off of it. It was about 1962-65. And loved it. One day, before season, at a "rival-gun-club", walked up to shoot 1st TRAP station, (shows you how dumb I was then-26"Full & Mod.)and both barrels FIRED AT ONCE! They gave me one more try (they thought I pulled both trig.s/ except, I only had a single trigger) and again- KABANG! BOTH Bbls.shot! WITHOUT PULLING THE TIGGERS! I walked off, said sorrys, red faced and went home, another 2hr.drive!
Got it fixed/ sold the gun / couldn't shoot with it after that! GUN SHY FOR DAKINS!

THANKS, MR. MORIN, couldn't be more true. I subsequently have owned several Dbl. Bbl. shotguns, including a nice Winchester with which I shot my first 25 straight and 50 strt.
Also, hunted with a really nice "Charles Daly"side-by-side, and an over/under 20ga.- Daly. They were my "main" armory for hunting & SKEET.
Then, I got so spoiled, when the "coach" exposed me to a "Kreighoff K-80, Carrier bbl.with matched tubes, single trig., Beaver forearm, "Black-Pearl" engraving! It had vent-rib on a 28" barrel, and BRILEY did the laser porting on all tubes and barrels. It is the "SWEETEST"gun I've ever owned or handled! A beautiful piece of ART and Workmanship! I love it.
