I'm remembering a smattering of Field Grade Smiths being pressed into such service in my youth (I had one hard-used example, inherited from my grandfather), along with comparable lower-end domestic doubles (Model B Foxes, Win M24s, even the occasional badly used-up Trojan, etc.) but the entry-level playing field of my youth was clearly dominated by pump-guns (M12s, M37s, M97s, M-500s, etc.).
A 20-gauge Beretta Onyx is a huge leap forward IMHO (Chukerman's grandsons were quite fortunate).
Got my answers, back to work.
