Bought a new A-5 Light Twelve in 1963, 28" modified. Then plastic chokes came out and it patterned tight, so I went with spreader loads. When I could no longer find spreader loads, I had a Lyman adjustable choke installed. I told the smith to cut to 20" and attach the dingus. It came back 20" overall. Rats! I lived with it for a few years. When the Japan made guns came out choked, I ordered a 26" with chokes. It fit my Belgium made gun like it was made for it. Happy again. I am getting on in years and usually use a .410 Model 42 on opening day for dove. Second or third day, when I break out the A-5, SIL tells the other hunters that Jack is getting serious.
If I could turn back the clock, I would get a Sweet Sixteen instead. They are a good bit lighter.
Best

my brother and i both grew up on Sweet Sixteens. we both sold them to move to Berettas.
if a man speaks, and there isn't a woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?
