Ain't that the heck of it- Back when I shot registered targets I saw a few- I love Model 12's, but never bought one with the (ugh) Hydra-Coil stock group!! Now I guess I should have- Back then the "prestige" Trap gun was the Lutjic but I am sort of a "traditions" guy- traded the altered Parker SBT for a 1948 mfg. M12 Pigeon Grade Trap gun-30" but marked Imp. Mod. - always shot Federal paper Champion Trap loads-did you ever read Dave Petzal's write-up about the Model 12 in a 1985 issue of Sporting Classics-he wrote about several M12 Trap guns with over 1 million rounds shot and still "keep on a truckin'" and I believe that. If I had a $1 for every game bird and clay target ever shot with a Model 12 from 1912 to 1963- I could buy and sell Jimmy Buffett's rich uncle Warren!!
