The Model 12 12 Gauge is heavy. Heavy is out with this generation. It is a pump. Semi Autos are the current favorite. The Browning copies didn’t do all that well and were good shotguns.
The 16 ga is the best of the bunch for the uplands, light and quick, but still a pump. The16 as good as it is, only hangs on with those who appreciate what it could be.
Combine it with the fact there are millions of originals out there to be had and I doubt you will see it happen.
