12, 16 or 20. It didn't matter-same price. The single trigger was a bit more.

Wowzer! That’s quite a sale on those “Factory Sample” guns!! Wonder what was driving such a price reduction.

It's a shame the advert did not include the serial numbers. Would have been interesting to enhance a few guns provenance.
