Either that or it's a comment on the utility of a nice light Model 12 in 20-gauge. A friend of mine just picked up a circa-1914 25-inch 20-gauge that had been completely redone (with a Simmons vent rib added). Makes a nice back-up gun to his pretty little Parker double, and the cost was insignificant. The fancy wood and rib added a little weight (it's now about 6 1/2-lbs), but it's pretty sweet. He left it unplugged for the rare occation where that is useful.
