I’m sure we’ll never know why English, sourced in the US, wasn’t used on all Repros instead of some stocked in claro, also sourced in the US.... was it cost, or availability, or both... or just a whim?

West coast “English” walnut is only casually considered the same as English walnut Juglans Regia and while less interesting, has a solid grain which would be hard to snap.

One of the selling points of the SSS was that they were stocked with English Walnut, at least that was what John Allen told me when I purchased mine at Game Fair in Nashville back in the day.
I really can't imagine it is unacceptable to shot a 1 ounce load of moderate velocity out of a
6 3/4 lb 20 gauge, I think that is what mine weighed.
