That's a nice shotgun! Have you thought about a stock fitting before you sell it?
I had Tom Smith in Northern Ohio fit all of mine and he is Tops in his field!
It will make a difference! He starts with his try gun and copies the adjustments to your stock.Then he refinishes it. A lot of the good trap shooters go to him and they shoot for a lot of money!

Shotguns designed for trap shooting generally have a straighter stock than hunting shotguns.

I found this online if it helps :
Here are the biggest differences between the Field and Sporting Silver Pigeons:
Here are the biggest differences between the Field and Sporting Silver Pigeons:
- Stock: Fatter/wider on the Sporting and has a palm swell (make sure to get a Left-handed version if you're a lefty)
- Rib: Sporting rib is wider and usually has a mid-bead
- Safety: Engages automatically when the Field version is opened.
- Mid-Rib (area between barrels): Is ventilated on the Sporting version to help with cooling
- Chokes: The Field version uses MobilChokes and the Sporting version uses Optima HP chokes
