Nice job Frank. A vintage classic gun in it's own right and it goes very well with the dapper fedora which looks very stylish on you.

Thanks gents. That fedora was my paternal grandfather's and I have a treasured picture of him wearing it and holding me when I was about 6 months old. He passed just a few years after that. That Winchester M-12 is one I shot at Trap many many years ago and it went on idle when I got into sporting clays and with a whole range of gas guns and stack barrels. Now they're all gone. Two gents came up to me while at the Northern S x S last weekend and wanted to buy the Winchester. No way. I never had that happen with a B, K or P gun. :wink:

Great pic, Frank, and CONGRATULATIONS! I share your enthusiasm for competing with these old guns, as you know.

All my best, SRH
