Andy,

I’ve had one in 12ga since they came out. It’s the camo version. It’s lite, very well balanced, reliable, very easy to clean and fits well after adding the included shims to adjust drop and cast.

I’ve always liked M12s and IMO this is a worthy successor with modern materials and operating system.

I would guess you’ll like the 16ga version. I had a Japanese sweet 16 and wound up selling it. It was a very nice gun but too heavy for a 16 in my opinion.

Best,
Brett

Thank you Brett. I have a Belgian Sweet 16 can't shoot the damn thing with the Panzer barrel action. I want a 16 auto loader since, well, I don't have one. Thanks again.

I have a Parker DHE 20 with sling swivels that letters with them. IIRC it was an added $3.00.
What was the year of production of that DHE Rich?

In 1913 ejectors were a $25 option.
