Thanks- I have 11 M12's- 9 in 12 gauge, including 2 in the 3"Magnum model (aka- Heavy Duck) my late Dad's 20 gauge (1931 field grade 28" mod. choke, and a 28 gauge I took in payment for a debt from a buddy- that is a 1939 field grade with 28" solid ribbed barrel and choke is marked WS-2- but it is NOT a Skeet gun, has plain field buttstock and corncob ringed style round forearm.
Mavis and I were in "Da Yoop" in late September, we love all the great waterfalls, and we have always wanted to take the Pictured Rocks boat trip-which we did- also visited the Whitefish Bay area and saw the Edmund Fitzgerald museum, and also a few lighthouses- Copper Harbor is our favorite. I love pasties, and the history that shows that Calumet lost by one vote to Lansing to have been our State's Capital- wow.
Some fine grouse and woodcock hunting up across the Bridge- at age 75, not my game today. The few Model 12's in 28 gauge I have seen at Cabela's Gun Library have all been in Skeet mode, and wore a Cutts Comp-- or a "Steam Whistle" as I have heard them called.
