M-12's
I no longer have that set. but I do have a complete set of skeet guns in M-12's and 42's Have 2 28's plus one of the Browning sets. The 28 ga M-12 never worked as well as it should have. None of them..even the Browning. In a hundred targets I would almost always have a shell foulup of some sort. Never the same thing twice. But the root cause is the fact that the 28 is built on the 16 ga frame and after all mods it just had a few dimensional discrepancies. So you just got used to the foulups and got along with the round of skeet. The matched pair of 870's I have are about as reliable as any 870 ever could be..but they are kinda hard to shoot consistently...as are the 1100's. Just too small and light. I do have a Purbaugh conversion form standard 1100 20 (12 ga frame) to 410. An easy gun to shoot and patterns very well. Best I ever broke in competition with it was a 99. I've had a few 100's with my Krieghoff with 410 tubes in it. Just so easy to shoot. Shot a 97 at a shoot in Cody bout 10 days ago. Darn 410 is so hard to shoot....but I love it! I happen to have a few 16 ga shells. Some pretty good ones too. Not the dove and quail junk that is about all you can buy now. Never had much use for the 16 myself. Just a lost in space gauge. Oh...I had a few old skeet shooting friends that shot and taught skeet during WWII. They all thought they had it made
