Last year, I bought a Winchester Model 12 shotgun in 12 gauge. It was made in 1919.
I tried it out a couple of times at our shooting area and it worked just fine. Next month, I will be heading to my friend's in Lake Havasu for the Christmas holiday. While there, if past times are an indication, we'll be heading out to the skeet range for some skeet shooting. I am anxious to try out the Model 12 on the skeet range. It should be interesting to see how a 106-year-old shotgun does.

The longer barrel of the Model 12 should work out better than the Remington 870 Express. I bought the shotgun through Guns.com.
It is interesting to note that Americans used the Model 12 in the Pacific War against the Japanese. It was highly effective in jungle conditions and the Japanese forces were fearful of them.
