Hi:

You guys have driven me to a point where I MUST have a 20 gage DAMASCUS SxS!


Where do I find one for sale?

I would like to have a pistol grip and have it very light weight with 2.75" chambers. Is this the impossible dream?


Suggestion as where to look?

Stay well,

Franchi

Go look at Kirby's site (Vintage Doubles) for starters. Gunsinternational after that. Remember to proceed with caution.

while a 20 gauge is alluring, It is far easier to find a decent lightweight damascus 12 gauge.

Most damascus 20 gauge are no lighter than a decent 12

What's you definition of light weight? Would 6lb 2oz with 30" barrels be too heavy?

Mike, I have several friends in Amarillo and I'd love to get up there to shoot with all y'all one of these days. As far as owning a 20 gauge damascus gun, you appear to have me confused with someone with a disposable income! Don't you remember my Sow's Ear project, I'm the ultimate bottom feeder. However, pretty soon I'll have a nice hand-crafted 12 gauge in hand that'll be a pleasure to not only shoot, but to post pictures of on this board. It's not a 20 gauge, but it's as light as a 20 gauge. I wish it were damascus, but I'll settle, I am a bottom feeder after all. I just gotta remember my place in the doublegun food chain laugh.
Steve
