Going to have to keep my eyes peeled for a 20
They one I found is a solid gun, good bores, no cracks or repairs and fully functional. Previous owners used it a lot. Thinning/worn bluing, no finish on receiver and worn checkering, lever is slightly left of center but it locks up tight. The 28" barrels were originally IM and F per proof marks but somebody before me opened the right barrel to IC. I have found that to be a very useful choke combo. It was in the bargain rack outside of the Gun Library and it was no brainer buy it at $379 out the door. It would be great to find a 20. Miroku makes good guns.
