How long are the barrels? Does it have a buttplate or a buttpad?

if it is as described 3900 +or- 100.The 20s are pretty desirable as long as stock has not been cut and gun is orginal.

I'm in ballpark agreement with Dave's estimate. Some dealers will advertise for more, few if any for less. They are not plentiful, but not rare and tend to bring about $1000 more than a pistol gripped Lightning of same bbl length (26 1/2"). As far as I know, Superlights only came in 26 1/2" bbls.

Pap,
In 1970, there were 428 Grade 1 20ga Superlights made and 1 Special Order Superlight, per Schwing's book. They were made in various grades until 1977 with a total around 1000 20ga Superlight guns. 12ga Superlights are another story.

There are 28" Superlights, but they are coveted and more expensive than shorter barrel examples.
