Had the barrels not been cut, I never would have sold my 16 ga. lifter. It was a lightened frame gun and very sweet to handle. That gun did not have the check pin, but did have the radius between standing breech and water tables.
I agree with Dave that the lifter is a nicer action and opening is very easy. Given the choice between a top lever hammer gun and a lifter, gauge for gauge, I'd much prefer the lifter.
