I already had a 1928 M12 30" full choke that I had converted from a field gun to a trap gun by adding a vent rib and a trap stock set. It was my Dad's and I used it to take my first bird on the wing. When I could no longer shoot lead at ducks and geese, I figured converting it to a trap gun and using it was better than having it sit in my gun cabinet. Just a couple weeks ago I was offered another M12 converted trap shotgun. This one is a 1954 and while I didn't need it, I bought it anyway and already shot a few rounds of trap with it. It was in good condition with a nicely figured stock on it. Though I have a Krieghoff KX5 for singles trap, I still love to shoot these M12s and I don't care about collector value, resale, or any of that. I will use them until I no longer can't and I don't care if my wife or son only gets $200 for them when I'm gone. They are worth so much more than that to me.
