Damn, 4seventy, you just had to notice that!

Words have a bad habit of coming back to bite you in the butt, don't they?

It is true that I don't like single triggers on a double rifle, but this old Valmet has a single trigger, and I'm not sure the parts for the 412 will fit this 1960 ventage Valmet LION. Actually, the old shooter has had 18 1/2" smooth bore barrels with iron sights, for many years, and was made that way for a deer slug rifle for shotgun only counties of East Texas. That is basicly what it will be used for still. The new rifled Hastings blanks will not use regular slugs, but 12 bore bullets crimped into Brass 12 bore cases.

I hunt with double rifles, and even the small ones have two triggers. Shotguns are another matter, but if the parts will fit, I will change to the twin trigger system in the LION, if not the 12 bore rifle will be used as is.
