Lots of good input, thank you all! A plain boxlock would be perfect, especially a light 12. I just haven't found it yet. Ted: I know where there is a decent 17 for sale. I see it almost every week. My fallback is a M31L in 20.

James: he out-grew his Model 12 (1913 20 bore). Too short now.

Mr. Snyder: the SKB is great suggestion.
