I was a bit concerned after seeing the G&A photo with a band of what appeared to be black electrical tape on the stock. Relieved to see no surprises!
How does that adjustable choke work on an already full choked barrel? That model 12 in that vintage a full choke barrel would be 30in.
It’s a nice find. Is that wood original? Special issue?
It was electrical tape and I was relieved also.
The tape and the deteriorating old pad were on there a long,long time. So long the tape basically the plastic pealed off and the hardened goop remained.
I timidly at first used mineral spirits to remove it all.
Read scared there....lol
The poly choke does just what it is supposed to on it changes the amount of restriction.
If it didn't slap me after firing I was thinking it would
Do quite well.
The stock aspect is just guesses and supposition.
Model 12 Traps were 4 times more expensive than a regular field gun.
They did come with very high grade wood.
This piece fits that nature of them.
To me I think it was shortened a bit.
I'm going by the wood to metal fit at the receiver.
I will try it again with light loads and have someone else try it too.
