If you're in the market for a nice, light American made 20, I think you need look no further than a A H Fox. Fox's receivers are gauge specific, and are smaller and lighter than most all other American made boxlocks. The reason is that the cocking mechanism and lock design utilize so few moving parts ..... three per barrel on a Fox. Less moving parts means less metal has to be milled away to house them, which, in turn, means that the receiver can be smaller to begin with and still have adequate strength. That describes a Fox, and no other American made box lock.
That said, I have a special place in my heart for small gauge L C Smiths, too. They are very petite and carry well. Between the Fox and the Smith you should be able to completely fulfill your desire.
