Very nice Sask and great looking lab. It sounds like he’s living a good life with you. My lab had a good day today as well. He helped me and a buddy each get a limit of pheasants. He got his treat when I dressed the birds.
Eh...wot?

Lugnut...
That Model 12 has been around the block a few times. Is it a nickel steel?
Pete That one belongs to my buddy PCR. It was his grandfathers and he wanted to take it out and kill a couple birds with it out of pure nostalgia. He usually shoots a Wingmaster which has the safety on the rear of the trigger guard. This old model 12 has it on the front of a trigger guard. I had already limited out and watched as he let two pheasants fly away unscathed while he was pressing a dent in the rear of the trigger guard trying to find the safety. LOL I’ll ask him about the nickel steel when I see him later today. Mine is the Remington 3200 O/U above the birds.
Eh...wot?

Trap dog, Yes they are birds stocked by the PGC and hens are legal here. We have very few, if any, wild pheasants left in Pennsylvania.
Honestly, I don’t know why they even bother stocking hens. They never get a chance to breed and everybody likes shooting roosters better than hens.

Pete Yes, Mark confirmed it is a Nickel Steel M12. So that means it is at least 80 years old. Winchester switched from nickel steel to WPS barrels sometime in the 1930s.
