Everything you now do is something you have chosen to do. Some people don't want to believe that. But if you're over age twenty-one, your life is what you're making of it. To change your life, you need to change your priorities.

It is a large ring if a quarter will pass through the magazine tube ring on the barrel. This would mean that it is a 20 gauge shotgun but built on the 12 gauge frame.

Howdy,
If a 20 ga. 870 is built on 12 guage frame, there will be a pronounced taper to the barrel where it meets the reciever. The 870 in the photo appears to have that taper. Beautiful shotgun DoeSlayer.
Cheers,
Kent

Never heard it called a "large ring", I have heard it called a std receiver though

If weight is an issue Im sure then the 20 ga receiver would get the nod, but I dont see enought weight savings to give up the better balance and smooter swing. If I had the extra cash this gun would be on its way to MI. Just my .02
