This an entry level 20 that has had thousands of rounds through it at clays and birds. Identical 12 was my first repro and it has twice as many thousands of rounds through it. Both still tight and right.
I bought the 12 used and then the 20 new and they are not for sale and go to my kids when I can no longer shoot.

They both look new and receive many inquiries and complements at the range or in the field.

Maybe your friend just does not like double guns?
