KY- I am nearing 80- when my 12th B'day came along, my Dad gave me his first B'day present shotgun, which I still have: M12 20 gauge 28" Mod. solid rib field gun, 2&3/4" chamber, WPS. He received in in July 1931--someday it will go to my Grandson. Thousands of shells through that, and all the other "Perfect Repeaters" I own- all made before the Korean Conflict. Have no idea your age, just wondered if the 28 gauge was as popular for bird hunting as the 20 was/is. RWTF
