[QUOTE="ProBusiness, post: 2006153, member: 6145"] I believe these were very popular with pheasant hunters, and quail when there where still quail around, because they were VERY light. the 20 gauge 28" barrel weighted somewhere around 5.2 or 5.5 lbs I THINK. Hunters liked them. U might find a better market marketing them to pheasant hunters in KS or the Dakotas. Not that popular with skeet shooters because they are too light for skeet. I have always wanted one. The usually have a 2 3/4 chamber in the 20 gauge which limit their appeal a little bit. A one time 20 or so years ago they were the semi-auto to carry in the field. I passed last year on a 20 gauge that was not that pretty but it was pretty spruced up because it had 2 3/4 chamber and i wanted a 3" in a 20 gauge. He wanted around 400 for it and could not find a local buyer for it. i would do like he said and sell on gunbroker and get national exposure. i am not sure of the price, i am thinking 500 just because they are out of style and demand IMO. every one wants a O/U even the cheap ugly ones will sell before a pretty semi-auto. did you say what gauge it is? I think a 20 would bring more than a 12. IMO. [/QUOTE]
