That we are indeed- oh 8-bore, that we are. I yield to your expertise re: A.H. Fox and other fine American side-by-sides.

?? if I may: Why was the "Skeeter" choked imp. mod. right barrel (front trigger) and imp. cyl. left barrel)-rear trigger- isn't that "Bss-Ackwards?"-- A friend has a pre-WW2 M21 Skeet- 16 ga. 26" barrels, right barrel WS-1 choke, and left barrel WS-2. His gun has the SST, pg and B'tail forearm, buttplate checkered but no steel plate as on a Parker with their skeleton steel series.

No much call for 16 gauge skeet guns for competition, but a great combination for: grouse, quail, woodcock and snipe- with a good tight holding dog on point.

How much, if any, difference is there on the older Winchester shotguns between, say: WS-1 and imp. cyl., and WS-2 and mod. ??

Sounds like you had a good show.
