Back in the day, I used to shoot my Winchester Model 12 Trap at the local clubs and some adjacent state shoots. I once had the misfortune of breaking a firing pin on the line, next to Vic Reinders, arguably the best trapshooter Wisconsin ever produced. He gave me a lengthy lecture about how worthless the M12's were, whereas his 31TC just kept going and going. His had about ten percent finish, and two sections of the rib were completely gone! I guess he knew what he was talking about; I bought a 31TC and used it a little bit. It was so smooth, that it was disconcerting after using a M12; it seemed as though it could not possibly be locking up, there were no "chunkety-clunk" noises like I was used to.
