Dennis,

I hate to correct my elders but the 1968 Olympic games were held in Mexico City & that is where the MX8 name came from on the drop out trigger guns that made Perazzi well known & I can't remember the name of the men's International Trap winner either.

The 1976 Olympic games were held in Montreal & that is where the MT6 (non removable trigger group gun) was introduced as an International Skeet gun (that was the one w/ the gaudy striped receiver).

The DC12 & DC20 SxS guns do indeed have a drop out trigger group that look just like the MX8 trigger group.
