JimSprouse Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 I am brand new to the hobby and I need help on whether to buy a CZ Durango Coach Gun or a Sharp Tail Coach Gun . Any comments, advice or information you can give me will be much appreciated. Why was the Durango made by CZ for one year only, 2005-06? Are there parts available? Was it made by Huglu, perhaps by another name, before CZ put it under their brand? Is it really just a shortened version of the Generation 1 Bobwhite? Are there parts available for the Gen 1 Bobwhite? Thank you very much for your help. Jim Sprouse aka Deputy Dan Callahan Number 113043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas Maverick Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 I have 2 Sharptails and they have been tuned by Griner Gun Works and I like them for this game. I traded in my 2 Stoegers to upgrade to the CZ and wouldn't go back. I looked at the SKB since they are considered at the top of the game but I couldn't get over all the stocks splitting on them so I decided against going that way.

Love these shotguns Have you checked out Ken Griners mods to the extractor? He cuts it in half so it looks a lot like the Stoeger. Make inserting shells a lot easier and smoother.

It helps a lot! He is in NM and it took me 4 weeks to get mine back from him when I had it done. He is the only one that I know that cuts the extractor in half and replaces the firing pin springs.
