It would also be nice if some information regarding mono gun #22 could be found.

My gun, #23, has all the history recorded on one of the "cards" and I am able to trace four owners. I was told there was no "card" for #22 so it remains a mystery.


Are you out there #22?

The reverse monte carlo stock is something that was very popular at that time. I had mono #366 it also had a reverse left handed stock when i bought it. In fact the stock is in the basement.

How many early Ljutics had no "LJUTIC" engraved on them, just a ser.# ? Or if it was a common practice to omit the name, when did they start? Larry Evans

I wish I had gotten a better picture of the gun she is holding here. She is shown here before the THOF went into storage.

Perhaps Tami at the Trapshooting Hall of Fame could help you.

I have 3 Ljutic's with people's name as either the serial number or is part of the serial number.

Larry my Banana Gun has "Evans Special" plus 3 numbers on it. Is that one of your old guns?

The Bi-Centennial combo in the safe just has a name on it for a serial number as does my Ljutic rifle.

It was pretty common practice at one time to put whatever the customer wanted on custom made guns for serial numbers. This still goes on today. Most Ducks Unlimited guns have "DU" in the serial number and so do many other organizations that order specially made firearms.

I have only ever seen one Ljutic that had no name or serial number on it, it was an older non-hooded Mono Gun or maybe an X-73. That was years ago.

Jim R, I knew I misplaced my "Evans Special". No, it's not one of mine. My Ljutic has just 3 numbers, 121. Nothing else. Larry

I remember seeing Punkins Ljutic listed on Gunbroker about six months ago. Watched it for a while and I believe it finally sold. Also about a year or so
ago Col. Copsey`s Ljutic ser # 21 listed on this site. It had sold when I inquired. In my collection I have a nice 8x10 of the Colonel shouldering his Ljutic. If my memory is correct, I think he shot left handed.

Keep the history flowing folks. I love this stuff. It keeps me coming back to TS

Sportalluring, How do I get hold of Jim Copsey or get a copy of that photo of his dad, Col. Hank Copsey, with his Mono-Gun, serial #21? It would have been nice if it came with the gun when it was sold!

Zardoz, I would like to talk to Dan Orlich or if you could ask him if Punkin had two early Ljutic Mono-Guns, which would be serial #16 and #21.

Cubancigar2000, If you are on Facebook, Go to the Ljutic site. It details historical information with accompaning photos of very early Ljutic Mono-Guns.
I'm glad you are enjoying this thread!

Look on ebay under trapshooting. There are pictures of Punkin & Arnold Riegger & others.

Jim Copsey is on the road, having left San Antonio today after the SW Grand. He lives in California, so give him time to get home.

I remember shooting at a shoot at Markham Park (I think) with Carl, Punkin and the rest of their squad in the early 80s. Carl told me that Punkin's gun weighed 10 lbs. and she always shot a 3 dr. load. I also shot a Ljutic, but I don't remember Punkin's having a reverse monte carlo. Carl was always the squad leader and would announce "Move it squad" for each station change. He had cancer at the time and told me that smoking weed helped him to cope with the effects of his treatment.

Chuck Delaney, Your photo was helpful in that I was able to see the forarm checkering (Pointed pattern) on the gun Punkin is holding. It does not match the checkering on Ljutic Mono serial #18. I'm still working to connect #18 to her. Surely, she had more than one gun. I really do appreciate you taking the time and interest to help me out!
