Yes, Charlins in the plainest dress are well-made and businesslike. Even a 10 ga. Lefever has the elegance of not retaining more than it needs and altho I don't have one, the smallbores give the lie to their apparent delicacy with their resilience. I like my FW16 LC but not to the point of running my eyes back and forth along its delicious lines for hours on end.
