I agree. I have 2 Model 12 heavy duck Mag M12's- a 1939 era with 30" Full solid rib barrel and factory pad, and a 1948 32" Full plain barrel with Pachmyer pad-- Both have had some of the lead weight in the buttstock cavity removed. Might I add one more pumpgun to your fine list? I also have a Mossberg 835 Ulti-Mag 12-- choke tubes, will handle 3.5" shells if you like those Roman Candles. One thing to consider if you have a pumpgun that will handle 3.5 Mag shells- and if it comes with a factory installed plug to comply with the 1935 Federal Law on that- the length of plug that will restrict your magazine capacity to 2 rounds max- will all 3 rounds of 2.75" steel shotshells for waterfowling- worth checking out before next Fall's season. I only shoot 2.75" steel or non-toxic in all my 3" chambered 12 ghauge waterfowl guns. But I love and shoot the Model 12's best-- "money guns", not that I shoot ducks or geese for dollars-
