Gomiata, I have a 12 bore Michaelangelo with the "new" hidden trapdoor detachable locks. I love it and shoot it, clays and pheasant/partridge, though I use it "sparingly2 as it is too pretty to really knock about, engraved by S Pedretti. INMHO they look better and handle better than a H@H Royal O/U but that is a subjective view. (I am a Holland fan) Steve Dodd Hughes on this forum has worked on a couple. I love mine :)best, Mike
