We have a few dedicated trap shooters, the late John Mann shot a lot of clay birds, as I recall. Dr. Sane pops in, here and there, and has been known to have an opinion on higher end trap guns.
The "Klunkermeister", Russ Ruppel, spent a lot of time putting the model 21 guys in their place. As far as he was concerned, that was right beneath the model 311 Stevens! Russ is another that is no longer with us, too bad, I miss him and John.
The term "Butt-Ugly model 21" was coined by Russ, perhaps. He used that term, a lot.
I think you will find the place a little bit different, and yet, a bit the same. We have a good crop of English gunmakers and 'smiths who have very good answers for questions on very good guns, and a few people very knowledgable about old school Yank guns.
Welcome back.
Best,
Ted
