I visited the Invincible today. It is truly a strange choice of individual upgrade items. The "Invincible" stamps on the barrel is a bit over the top. I like the gun, but not more than a nice original high condition DHE.

What did the BH 16 gauge look like ?

Craig, the gun isn't bad, but the 16 gauge barrels no longer fit on the gun. Some tightening must have been done to the receiver to fit the 20 gauge barrels.

How was the BHE 12 that I assume is a DelGrego restock recolored gun ?

The engraving is very light but I think that's the way it was when the gun was new. It looks good under a glass. This is my description of the 16-20 BH.

Did you look at the K-80 Lightweight that’s wearing K-32 barrels ?

The upgrade is still a V or P grade from the factory. To me, it's not worth more than what the V or P grade brings. It won't shoot any better as an Invincible than it will as a V or P.
