Well, Thorny, I have a gun I can't figure out the option package on-A Tobin "Black Diamond" 12 guage, 30" tubes that measure full and full, and a non-automatic safety, which is different than all the others I've had about the place. Capped pistol grip, nom de rigor, for these guns, three luscious inches of drop, plain brown recoil pad (hey, not all of us can have a white line spacer to match our white cigarette holder!) with a splinter out front. Short length of pull, just right for those thick wool mackinaw coats you see in old time photos.
Is it a waterfowler? Why not? It could be a squirreler as well, for all I know.
After I bought it, I noticed the triggers were reverse of normal-the front fired the left tube. Why would one do this on a gun with full and full chokes?
I should add, not for sale at the moment-and thanks to John Mann, who assisted me in the find and purchase. I've repaired the old girl, refinished the wood, recut the checkering, and made her ready for, well, whatever. My intent is a sunny day "something completely different" trap gun, with low noise, low recoil, and low pressure Winchester loads. The larger part of my pair of Tobins, doubt anyone else can (or really, should) make that claim....
Best,
Ted
