When did Manufrance start making 32 ga and when did production end? Thus far have only seen 10,12,16, and 20.
Thank you Dave for knowing what I meant about "dolls head" I did not know the term.


MF was known for changing things up regularly, including their model designations. Without a specific catalogue listing from the year a specific gun is made, if the model designation is not on the gun, it's impossible to know what it was. Something that was designated model X one year could be designated model Y the following. Gauge is the same. In one year, out the next. Using catalogues from years other than the year of Mfc is just guessing. Educated perhaps but still just a guess.

And I know for a fact, having seen them, they also made 24 gauge, 28 gauge and 32 gauge. I do not specifically recall or have notes on seeing a .410.

Shane, I've answered to a lot of aliases in my life :):)....but for now and for the foreseeable future, I'm known as Gene Williams, former Special Forces -Vietnam, A-233 & Macv Sog, 50 years in the Foreign Service.

On the wrist? The SF "markers." Montagnard bracelet on right; Rolex Submariner on left (when I choose to wear it).

La tete de poupée - Doll's Head - added to the vocabulary.

I recall we discussed this about a year ago....I don't think I ever added it to the original list below. Done.

Nice! The sub was common along with the zodiac sea wolf, Omega 300, and then there were the issued Benrus type I and type II during Vietnam era the "nicer pieces" This is a shotgun site but was curious.

That was my first thought when I saw spelling and didn't know what it was. đŸ€ŁđŸ€Ł
