1917 Flues 4e SBT two squads a wk at 16 yd trap April thru mid-October of last year. Didn't break the cocking lever. All modest velocity, 1 oz. reloads; no Nitro 27s thru that one. I think I have maybe 13 doubleguns and have administered the "skeet test" (100 rnds or 4 squads a week for maybe three weeks running to most of them excepting three damascus-barreled). Done the same with three Superposed of various ages (1937 to 1968). May have shot the rib loose on my Diana grade. Replaced a cratered bottom firing pin on a 66 Lightning Trap. Got away clean with a 12 ga (tends to striker binding but no other problems) and 16 ga. Fox SW, 12 ga Fox BE, latterday 16 ga. LCS, 89 Remmy hammergun, Charlin 12 ga. gamegun, no-name Brum boxlock, Uggie 221, Flues 4e 12 ga double, 1926 NID, 1935 NID. Pre-owned AyA #2 needed work on right sear; didn't result from volume shooting by me as AD was there waiting to happen when I got it. 41 Winchester m12 has been thru the mill at 2 night a week skeet a couple seasons back; I just clean it and lube it. Have one damascus Lefever which has performed flawlessly (if you except the 50% hit/miss ratio) for a few squads of skeet and maybe three 50 rnd. sporting clays shoots. Had more problems with mid-90s Citoris than I've had with this odd lot of low-end doubles which are probably too humble to realize they shouldn't function.
