Good day folks. I am in the market for a proper trap gun and as a lover of the martini action, I am drawn to the Greener martini action trap guns. Does anyone actually shoot these? If I were to find one is their any disadvantages to using one for trap? Just seems like a cool gun that can fill my need for a proper trap gun as well as add another martini action to my collection. Any insite would be appreciated.
Anyone shooting a Greener Martini action trap gun?

I shot one fr a bit, and my buddy took two deer with it using slugs from a Lee mold.
They work well, but i had a bit of issues wit the POI because of the comb/barrel orientation.

I have an original Greener GP Trap Model, made in 1956, in very nice condition with original Greener case. It has a 30" full choke barrel with ventilated rib and produces the tightest, most evenly distributed patterns of any gun I've tested. As the design was originally a rifle action where they served admirably for many years, they have a light, very crisp trigger, far better than more common shotguns used for trap until you get to the Perazzi class guns. It handles very well as a trap gun although handling characteristics are a matter of individual preference. Fit is also a very personal thing and a look at the guns at a large trap shoot will reveal lots of customization, even on five and ten thousand dollar guns. I feel that because of the stock design on the GP Trap fit may be a little more critical than most guns. Fits me, I love it. Love it but don't shoot it much any more, our club is leaning heavily toward sporting clays now, no place for a fine single!. Jim
I can add little except used a buddy's 20 and would not mind it if it was to come home with me. It fits me well and I shoot it well too. How can you not love the action? Try it if you don't like ityoucan probably get your money back.
