Nice shotgun KK Alaska! I thought I had found myself one in 16 gauge one day a few years back, but when I put my hands on it discovered it was the aluminum receiver version (31L) and it had the receiver crack (on the bottom between the magazine tube and the shell lifter). The steel receiver models are at least the equal of a Model 12 (maybe better, depending on how your preferences lean). Nice Gun! Check out the 16 Gauge Society for lots of good info on 16's. Odessa
