Default #1 frame 20 guage guns

I'm sure it's been covered before but a couple searches provided too many results to efficiently check. How "common" are #1 frame 20 gauge guns?

Very UNcommon.

Thanks Dean, I’m the incredibly proud recent owner of a beautiful 20 on a #1 frame with 30” barrels and thought it was a bit uncommon.

What grade is your 1 frame 20? I have a VHE 20/32” on the 1 frame. As Dean stated they are seldom seen.

Reggie, it’s a BHE. That 32” VHE sounds beautiful. I’d love to have one.

Are the chambers 2 7/8” in the BHE ?

Now, where the heck is that darned "drool" emoji when you need it!?!

Even a lightweight toting bird hunter like me would like a BHE 30" 1 frame gun. I would predict the demise of a pheasant or two...and maybe an early season teal...

A Galazan gauge indicates 3”. I’m assuming they’ve been extended. I’m waiting on a copy of the letter from the seller.
