Depends, if you are hunting doves or small upland game bird an under over shotgun or side by side will work, although you will not want to get it dirty. You will not want to use it for deer or turkey when you are on the ground or getting down and dirty. For that I would recommend a good Remington 870 pump or semi. If you are going goose or duck I would recommend getting the shotgun in a 3" or 3 1/2" round in 12 gauge so you can pack a good punch. For goose I use Winchester Blind Side 3 1/2". If any of this helps.
Hunting quail or trap shooting
hunting targets and history of the shotgun
It can be used for trap, but, a shotgun made specifically for trap would be better.
Unless Illinois law SPECIFICALLY states differently - shotgun plugs are necessary only for hunting. For skeet and trap it should make no difference whether the gun is plugged or unplugged.
The Winchester model 1912 trap shotgun was made from 1938-1964.With the serial number that you provided,your model 12 trap shotgun was made in the year 1921.It could be that yours may not be a trap model due to the date of manufacture!That being said a model 12 trap shotgun will bring between 700-1,200 dollars depending on the overall condition and a good bore.
yes it would be a alright caliber!!!!!!!
You really can't go wrong with a Remington 870. How you set it up is going to depend on what you're hunting.
A shotgun shell made for the game of trap shooting.
Shotgun with buckshot, 30 caliber rifle, etc.
Depends on the shotgun and what you are hunting.
No, a 4-10 shotgun would not be a good idea for shooting trap. The problem is the small size of the shell - with a very small amount of lead, you have a small chance of hitting your target. Shooting a 20 gauge shotgun is much better but still not a good idea for the same reason. The standard shotgun for shooting trap is a 12 gauge. The largest gauge allowed by nearly all trap shooting leagues, a 12 gauge has enough lead and enough power behind it to get consistent hits and high scores.
