He got a good one because I bought my MX8 new in 2006. Very similar in looks to this one. 26,000 rounds of sporting clays using light 1 oz loads and the thumb lever had moved a tad to the left of center. I had the locking block worked on and it’s had another 10000 through it and is still tight. I thought this was very, very few rounds through a supposedly competition level shotgun to have to have the action tightened.
This Perazzi is owned by a very good friend of mine He is a two time Olympian and world champion The one million round statement is very conservative considering it is normal to fire over 2000 rounds a week training We used his compition registration book to work out how many rounds it had fired and it was actually over one million
That million round count for anyone seriously training for the Olympics is not out of the realm of possible. Many Olympic shooters shoot two cases or more a day. Most casual shooters can’t believe this is possibly due to cost and time involved but it does occur. This is why many Olympic hopefuls in the US are members of the US Army marksmanship unit where your job in the Army is to shoot. Think Vincent Hancock.
Six time Olympic medalist (and I don't know how many world titles) Kim Rhode used to practice at my range. She''ll shoot 500+ rounds every day. Incredibly humbling to watch since she hardly ever misses, but it also gives you a good idea of how quickly the count adds up.
1 million round my ass. By just looking at the wood stock you could tell the gun has not been even used a lot, let alone abused. Not bashing Perrazzi, just saying
Sorry sir but you are away with the fairys This gun belongs to my best friend and he is a two time Olympic shooter and also 1995 world champion We have his book showing registered competition targets his book shows 1.3 million targets I sated 1 million Also I have never stated it was the original stock
No one said the gun has been abused, just used. You can’t really base round count on the condition of the wood. Stocks get replaced, refinished, etc. With that being said, this gun is used by an Olympic shooter. It is not uncommon for Olympic hopefuls to shoot 500 rounds or more a day. Though this can be difficult to comprehend for even most seasoned clay target hobbyist as cost and time prohibit this for most, the Olympics is a whole different story. This is why many US Olympic shooters are members of the US Army marksmanship unit as the shooting bill and pay check are covered by Uncle Sam.
I consulted a well known Australian Olympic Gold Medalist in trap and he had no idea what Australian Olympian could have shot this many rounds through a Perazzi. Neither he nor I am going to call someone a liar, but at the rate that was mentioned above (2000 rounds per week), the gun would have had to be shot every week for 9.6 years straight to achieve this round count. I ain't swallowing that.
This MX8 has truly earned this makeover. Bravo Rodd.

can you post a video how to change the catch bolt on the perazzi mx8 detachable trigger ? nice video thank you for posting
Son una elegancia de arma amigos elegante saludos
What a great job 👏
Shoot 5 1/2 boxes per day every day for 20 years and you'll shoot a million rounds. I find it hard to believe that someone has done this.
A workhorse of a shotgun!
Well done 👏
I have to admit, when I see a Perazzi Mx8 trap, I get weak at the knees.
Mr. Flower, do you have an email you can be reached at? Thank you.

One million rounds? Even if it was built in 1968, it would have to have fired 0ver 360 rounds a week, every week, for 53 years!

Nice. But having spent my life around gun guys, I take round counts with a grain of salt.
Doesn’t look like a gun that’s fired that many rounds someone is exaggerating a little

I can assure you it has done a lot of work and fired the amount of rounds

Kemen is very best. I had a MX8 and a High Tech and the first was very problematic.
