That's too bad they couldn't figure it out. It would have greatly helped further the resurgence of new sxs's in America. I recently bought a Charles Daly (made in Turkey) 512 sxs, 3" chambers, 28", choke tubes, st, pistol grip, as a dedicated target gun, because it was only $700. The fit and finish for a $700 gun is astounding. The barrels are struck beautifully and well regulated. All that, and it weighs only 6lbs even. It's actually too light for a target gun, so now I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it. |

Sounds like a nice gun. Light 12's are interesting. Might be OK with 3/4 oz or mild 7/8 oz loads on the range. |

Mark,
Hollow out the forearm and the butt stock and melt lead into it. Check the balance point first. You have the skills to do it. Balancing a gun to fit your style might prove to be an interesting project. You could buy a matching gun for $700 and leave it light for hunting. |
