Wow--maybe I have "missed a bet" here. I have a 1939 era M12 28 gauge, 28" mod. solid rib barrel-- Never thought about using it for waterfowl. Do they make a non-toxic loads for the "sub-bore" gauges? You were lucky in 1966 to live in a game rich area with such a variety. I know where I was in 1966- and it wasn't Stateside either. The only "shotguns" were the 12 gauge Riot models (20" cyl. bore) and the M79 "Thumper" single shot- neither a good choice for ducks or quail-- RWTF
