I sure do. I killed my first deer with it, and I wouldn't take nothing for it.

Thinking about trying a 1953 Light Twelve for some squirrels in a week or so. Just for nostalgia.

I’d love a real clean Light Twenty or Sweet Sixteen but I’m not willing to pay what they bring these days

Yessir! I’m always gonna shoot what makes me happy and I want everyone else to do the same! If you shoot one be proud of it and don’t worry what anyone else thinks. - SJ22

i have the trio, highly encourage anyone with one they say kick to replace the spring and collar, will take them back to very little recoil. i shot sporting clays with the 20 for multiple years, i added the midwest gun works mercury filled end cap, has an 2-3” tube that extends toward the muzzle from the cap. no muzzle jump at all
also got colonial arms, when they were in selma, to make custom choke sets for the 12 and 20 gauge

Still have a sweet 16 regret selling the 12 magnum

I have a A5 magnum twelve with a full choke 30" barrel. I killed a truck load of long beards with that gun

All Belgium: light 12, magnum 12,pre-war 16 with a polychoke,20. Don't have a magnum 20.....and folks are PROUD of them. Been using the standard 12 and 20 since I was 12 years old. I turkey hunt with an L.C. Smith.....everything else with one of the A-5s. These days my favorite for doves is the 16. I've been Duck hunting in Beaver Ponds and dunked them completely under water accidentally. Pour the water out and they NEVER miss a beat. Try that with a gas gun.....especially a damn' Remington 1100!! None of the A5's have ever jammed.....and I'll be 66 this month.

My bucket list shotgun is a light 20 round knob Maroku with the invector choke system.

I use my dad's every year on at least one turkey. I also use a model 12 and an old 1100. I don't shoot TSS.
