[QUOTE="BillR, post: 511812, member: 462"] The Empire Trap is a great gun. Its probably a B.C. Miroku who also built the Browning Citori's. There were also some really great trap guns sold by Charles Daly that were built by Sabatti in Italy. Pretty spendy when new but few knew what they were so sales were very slow. Used to shoot one of the CD Trap guns and loved that thing. If this is one of the fixed choke guns you could have some problems with putting chokes in it as BCM grinds a flat between the barrels so they can get the convergence correct. This leaves a thin spot on the barrels and make the barrels too thin to put chokes in except for maybe Briley's but even they won't put chokes in some of them as they can be really thin. All the Winchester 101's were built by Olin Kradencha (spelling ?) which was a company that was started by Nikko and Olin Winchester to build the Winchester 101's and all the Japanese Winchesters. If this is a Japanese Charles Daly it probably could use the forcing cones lengthened and I do not think their chrome lined so should not be hard to do. Porting isn't really worth it in my opinion, never noticed a difference and they were mostly just louder. As far as screw chokes go, for the most part they will pattern better without them and if its choked right just shoot it. You might also watch the cocking rods as they would break once in a while but can be replaced fairly easily with stronger one. All in all though a great gun. [/QUOTE]
