here`s a pic of my trap guns, top is my retired marlin 90 made in 1939, kind of wore it out. its replacement is the 2003 citori lightning with grade 3 wood. Just got the buttstock back with the adjustable comb from Tronspace, waiting for some good weather to try it out.

Here you go. Tron does nice work. He used to only work on Beretta's a long time ago.

Nice guns, that Citori is beaut. Do you shoot a lot of Trap Doubles? Our club sets up 1 field in the summer for doubles, I enjoy the challenge but the majority of members won't even give it a go. It's fun seeing the looks on faces when others realize I'm using a 16ga for Trap, fun stuff. |

no doubles yet, but hitting birds with a 16 amazes some, but the old timers that grew up with a 16 know it can be done |

the lower firing pin hole keeps peening shut, I use it as back up or for when friends and family shoot. |

not sure, I used a round file to open it back up, also I had to use a shim on the barrel lug to tighten the lock up. The browning gives me the option of chokes and I don`t have to worry about a problem happening on the firing line when shooting with other people. |

Do you mind me asking what you reload with? I assumed you did just from the volume of shells you just go through. |
