In the October 1965, Outdoor Life, Jack penned an article on the 20-gauge, with this better quail picture --

In the 1965 article he describes getting that 30-inch modified and full 20-gauge and states it was an L.C. Smith ejector gun.

He then goes on to discuss his quail and duck shooting with it and even killing a turkey with it. He then states he did some of his best 20-gauge shooting with it.

Then goes on to say it was an all-wrong freak and spends the rest of the article extolling the virtues of his 26-inch barrel Model 21s!?!

I found a couple of boxes of 1950s to 70s Outdoor Life when cleaning out the house where I grew up. I thumbed through all of them and then put all but this issue out at the gun club where other geezers snapped them up.
