I purchased this gun from Cabela’s on the east coast in 2009 and it was presented as a “between the wars 10 gauge”. Other than that I know little about the gun’s history. I used low pressure 2-5/8” loads from RTS or my own handloads and shot many geese and pheasants with the gun. The single trigger worked flawlessly but I have the double trigger parts that were remaining after the single trigger installation. It patterns well with #2 Bismuth or #5 lead shot.
