The gun shop just down the street from me had a 20 ga. Trap Grade. What a sweet handling gun. He had it for sale in his shop for a couple of years. He finally put it on gunbroker and it was gone in two weeks.

And my Ideal Damascus 10 is in the "lightweight class" weighing in a 8.13 oz.

I only have two 20 gauges but I shoot my Field grade LC 20 gauge the best.

Enjoy shooting your LC James!
