    Trapshooting has influenced the development of firearms technology, particularly in the terms of shotguns and ammunition

    I don't think so. The Browning Superposed born 1930 and the Remington 32 looking at all the current O/U scatterguns available seems nothing really new. Ithaca single barrel trap another great shootin' god father of all todays single barrel competitors. Semiautos Remington 1100 and the Browning A5…actually I’m inclined to believe the more things change the more they remain the same!

    my Winchester m50s are 70 years old now. 30 years to go!
    you think theyd sell? nope.
    sadly, no one wants them. the world is caught up in fads and pazzaz, not well built history.

    Dennis DeVault, changed a few things on his Infinity, no thru bolt to attach the receiver to the stock and straight plunger (striker) firing pin--super fast lock time .0005ms lock time
