    Default Browning Light 20

    This was my Grandfathers gun and my Grandmother gave me this and a handful of other guns earlier this year.

    Anyway, I finally took it out the safe yesterday and took it for a spin. It shoots great and is really a beautiful gun. It has a couple of little handling marks and the brass is worn off the trigger, but otherwise almost looks new.

    I ran the serial # and it was made in 1967 and sports a fixed modified barrel. I busted a few release quail yesterday with it and it did just fine.

    Excellent!
    My Grandfather had a Sweet 16 he bought from Sears in the early 60's
    My Dad liked it so much he saved his coin and went to Sears to get one for him,
    but they were out of the 16ga. the day he walked in and only had the 20ga. I am glad they were out of stock that day
    because I now have their Sweet 16 and 20ga, 1963 or 1965 or so if I remember correctly. Both in outstanding condition.
    I want to shoot a duck with them but everyone says not to put steel shot thru either of them?????

    My dad grew up shooting one and did until the AL391 changed our lives forever in late 90’s- he has 5 Light Twenties, and of you shoot it regularly and high volume you will need a bag of parts and a mechanical engineer (my dad has both). He now exclusively Shoots turkeys with his as it patterns way better than the Beretta. Oh... and he shoots lead 5’s

    Fine specimen.

    That's a beautiful gun, but it's not a Light Twenty. Just a Twenty.

    They shoot like butter
    The Sweet 16 is in the middle and the Twenty is on the right. The double barrel is an Ithaca Featherweight Flues 20 made in 1911 been in my family since the 40s
