A Model 11 Sportsman 20 ga., 26" IC, was my only dove gun for about 5 years from age 11 or 12 to my 16th birthday, when I was gifted a new Rem. 1100. I have fond memories of that M11.
I distinctly remember being asked by a game warden, on a dove shoot, if my gun was plugged. I replied "No sir, it only holds three, anyway." I wasn't old enough to need a hunting license when that occurred, and there were no other "restrictions" on under-license-age hunters in those days.
