Jagermeister, I had not heard that using steel that was shorter than the chamber length could be an issue. How rare are 20 gauge doubles that can handle steel with 2 3/4" chambers? My 201 is a 20 gauge with fixed IC/Mod. I thought from the day I got it that it was suitable for steel. Now I have no use at all for it.
Based solely on appearance alone I don't care for most of the standard BSS guns I see. However, beauty is as beauty does and something I like better that isn't compatible with steel won't help. I don't like beavertails, even trim semi-beavertails. Did they make them with two triggers? A 20 gauge sporter with 28" fixed IC/Mod barrels, splinter, and oil finished wood would look fine. I got a bit of sticker shock when looking around at BSS today.
How about the Ithaca/SKB 100/200 doubles? Is steel out of the question for them?
