That would have to be the only one I have. A 12ga. If what I would most like to have matters it would be an English style half stock in 16 ga. Will I ever find one. Likely not. Sometimes you have to be happy with what you have got.
 
I like the balance and versatility of my 20ga/.62 cal. Fowler. It gets the job done well for turkey, small game/birds, and while I normally use a rifle for deer, it is quite accurate using a .60 cal PRB and would serve this purpose as well.
 
I went with 16 gauge (0.662") for my Mike Brooks fowling flintlock. It's a great smoothbore and the round ball is a nice one ounce mass. Well, a little less at 0.648" that I use.

Lighter than a modern 12 or 20 because the barrel makers use a bored out 20 profile to make the 16.
 
I have 3 12 gauge shotguns. I like that you can up or down load for different shooting. I’d really like to get a a Fowler or Tulle in 20 gauge for flintlock shooting
