Agree- I bought a grade 2E 12 from the late Brad B. about 6 years ago-the first series with the "snail titties" cocking indicators. Love it, crisp triggers, 30" barrels, og stock and spl. forearm with a never get loose latch system. Once owned a Ideal grade Smith non-ejector 12 gauge with the Curtis forearm latch- solid and sure, IMO RWTF
