from my previous posts, I have bought a Francisque Darne from 1920 16 ga of course, anyway, used my portable trap thrower, hit about 10/20, tested 4 different loads, it ate them all up, did not kick as bad as I thought weighting in at less then 6 lbs, I needed to cover the bird with the barrels to hit. The double triggers are different then I am use to with US guns, the front trigger shot the right barrel, rather then the left that I am use to. All in all I feel fortunate to shoot a gun very few people have heard of and those that have, have never seen one. life is good

that slip on comb is a good idea, needs it for trap to get it to shoot high.
