Ted: My waterfowl guns are all in the 14 1/2 LOP range (or less) because of the heavier clothing
I'm generally swaddled in. There's currently talk on this webpage about a minimalist's battery of guns. Your AYA is one of those guns than can fairly easily "do it all". Hard to not appreciate a gun like that.
Back to the reason for my original post: I finally got to examine that circa 1937 Model 12 again this morning. The cutoff/raceway has a noticeable step in it and the cutoff arm is definitely stamped "28". The cutoff arm is also noticeably more substantial than what I remember seeing on 20-gauge guns. The extractor and ejector also look more substantial to me, and the bolt face seems appropriate for what you'd expect for a 28. I couldn't help myself and pulled the stock. The "28" is clearly stamped on the boss below the bolt flange. The receiver looks to be the real deal to me. The one questionable part is the barrel bracket, which is clearly marked "20". Anybody have any ideas on how this could have happened?
