Pre-war solid rib 28" 16ga M12 field, choked full. Fits like an old girlfriend, but lighter - at 6 lb 11 oz. No useful pattern dimension I can't get with factory loads and a reloading press.

But when I'm Bill's age I'll go with the M42. Geez, that's not that far off. And at current rates of appreciation I may not be able to afford to buy back a M42 skeet gun........yup, maybe I should go with that M42 right now.
