One thing about Manufrance: They were about as effusive as Ansley Fox in praising their own gun. "The best of all shotguns!" I have another Manufrance ad, I think post-WWII, which describes the Ideal as "the most perfect and the most beautiful shotgun in the world". They obviously did not believe in understatement.

Anyone ever use one with "lunettes" triggers while hunting? Looks to me as if switching from one trigger to the other might not be as easy as on a standard DT sxs.
