What an excellent Trap gun! You can master doubles in no time with that gun.Howdy
It's not a Skeet gun, but this 12 gauge Model 12 is my favorite Trap gun. Made in 1948, it is two years older than me. Full choke, 30" barrel. It has an adjustable butt pad on it now since this photo was taken.
I only use it for singles trap, have never tried doubles with it. Although I know these guns were used for doubles for many years, it would take a while for me to get used to working the action between shots without bobbling the gun so much that I lost my sight picture.

I know what you mean...but I can't help being "that guy" sometimes. If your gun has proof marks, it has been fired. Ultimately there is no such thing as a "never been fired" gun.Never been fired...
Dad would run 100 straight on a (semi) regular basis with his father's 1924 Model-12, during the mid`50's as part of the USAF Western Air Defense League Team....have never tried doubles with it. Although I know these guns were used for doubles for many years,
it would take a while for me to get used to working the action between shots without bobbling the gun ,
so much that I lost my sight picture.
