So I've been around here off and on for many years and I know "It's a double gun site" but I also know some pretty knowledgeable people hang out here and in general there is an appreciation for old and odd.

So that being said...I have found myself with a recent fascination for the Model 12 Featherweight after two discoveries. First, they really do weigh 6 1/2lbs in 12ga (only gauge made) and 2nd, they were all made in one year (March of 58 through March of 59. Then sold till 63 some time. I have two examples that I really like and just wonder if any of the members here have owned one and what their thoughts were.

The one with a 26" barrel is 6lbs 8oz and the one with a 30" barrel is a whopping 6lbs 11oz, amazing compared to a regular model 12.
