The late Mr. Woolner made a case for the Model 59 Winchester auto, which came in 12ga only. Quite light to start with, and he made changes to reduce even more weight.
Sorry, minor error. The 59 was meant to introduce the 14gauge. That didn't go so well, so Winchester marketed them instead as 12s. At one point,it seems the 12ga 59's had a cult following at a gun club where I ued to shoot in Iowa. I managed to avoid falling victim.
