I'm currently looking at various s/h Perazzi O/U trap guns.

Please can a resident Perazzi expert confirm when Perazzi launched its "MX8 Pro Trap" model. Thanks.

A review I found:

Perazzi MX8 Protrap | Over and Under Shotgun Reviews | Gun Mart

<p>Considered by Trap and Trench shooters to be the ultimate, Mark Stone gets his hands on a gun that some people would sell their souls for - the Perazzi MX8</p>

Many thanks. You have the correct model, but unfortunately the article you posted dated 2016 already showed up in my original search. The 'MX8 Pro Trap' model appeared many years before 2016 and I'm trying to establish exactly when it was launched.

If it's above serial #53,000 it should be a Type4 gun. The same design as they build today. Plenty of parts available and many people wrk on them.

You might spend a few minutes reading this summary I published.

Don,
Many thanks for your reply. I'd actually found and printed off your script about checking a s/h Perazzi before you posted the link above because I'd found it very useful.

A gun I've been interested in has a serial number in the range 138xxx and is called a 'MX8 Pro Trap' with a nickel coloured action body. I'm trying to find out when the 'MX8 Pro Trap' model was first marketed.

Seen them for sale in the UK, the ones I’ve seen had a ramped rib. Looks like a bunker gun.

Perazzi Pro Trap

Thanks. I've seen that video before. It doesn't clarify when the MX8 Pro Trap was first introduced. I'll have to ask Mauro.
