Or maybe the demand is lower. My favorite shotgun was a 20ga side by side that I hunted with my senior year. I just loved to hunt and shoot skeet with it. The double barrel configuration naturally put me on target quicker that single barrel guns. My dad could not hit a thing with it and upped and sold it. Bummed me out that he didn't tell me.

My Step-Dad had a Model-12 Winchester Pump Trench Shotgun. The serial number was 17. His Grand Dad had gave it to him., he carried it in WW2. Back then when I used it hunting I used the plastic casing shells. Dad had just a few paper shells that was what was used for it when it was manufactured. Them kicked more than the plastic's I remember (slugs). My Brother Bill ripped it off from him and sold it, when I was in the Army. It sure was an awesome shotgun.

When the Trench Gun was introduced to the Germans in WWI they whined about it being unfair, harsh and inhumane...all the while gassing our troops. Shotguns have been used by our troops in all the combat campaigns since. Today, those are valuable to collectors. Awesome and feared by all our enemies. You didn't have to lift trigger pressure, just work the pump like a full automatic. Nasty.
