Hi,
Did the Japanese made SKB 12 gauge 500, come in different configurations? Was there a field model, a skeet model, a sporting and a trap model within the 500 range? I ask because they came in a range of barrel lengths from 26 inch to 32 inch and different choke combinations from cylinder to full but the shotguns are not specifically marked field, Skeet etc. My gut feeling is the 500 was a basic model and you could simply choose the barrel length/choke combination you liked. A great idea!
Thanks,
 
I think I have seen different variations. I have a 3 barrel set in the 600 model. I have not seen any configuration in the 600 other than a hunting version.
 
You could get them in a few different configurations but they never marked them for specific use or sub model like SKEET, TRAP etc. Ive seen a few with longer barrels with vent ribs with nicer wood and finish and these were older ordered variants. Not sure if they allow custom orders any longer or if you just have to get lucky on what they decide to build in different years etc? Never have seen any sub model names on any of the guns themselves, nor the boxes but that doesnt mean they did not do it at some point. Ive seen at least a hundred or more come thru the auction houses over the years and in doing collection appraisals etc and have never seen a box marked either.

Jake, Sorry to bug you again. I was wondering if you could share a. couple actual pics of this crossbow with me?

Xpedition Archery USED Scrapeline390X Sniper Gray Crossbow XACW1001 - Light Wear - Needs Bolt/Arrow Guide Spring UA5689​

If it is in a decent shape, would you be willing to sell it for $100 shipped? IS it missing the retention spring that goes over the bolt?
Thank you Ferenc

Good morning John, I just read your setup procedure for the northstar duplicator ator. I found it very hand and I did learn some things. I have the same machine and I am having a problem i can not figure out and was hoping you could shed some light on the subject.
