I've got a 1935 20 ga Model 12 with a nickel steel, solid rib, 26" modified choke barrel that mikes out at .009" of constriction. Not sure if the choke was opened up or came from the factory that open, but really like it...great all around constriction for skeet, grouse hunting and casual sporting clays. Mine was re-blued before I got it, and I put a "modern" stock off a 1958 16 ga as the LOP, pitch and drop fits me better, plus the grip is a much better fit for my hand. I wouldn't sell it for $750, but I really like and appreciate Model 12's and 42's.
