None. History: the Light Weight 12 gauge was added to the Browning line in 1946. Around the 1948-1949 time frame the left side of the receiver was engraved with Light Twelve. Until 1951 the tirgger and safety was gold plated. The barrels and stocks interchange with standard ones. It is simply a lighter version of the standard weight. Wieight is saved by drilling three holes in the barrel ring; the rib on vent ribbed barrels is narrower; the receiver has additional material milled out of it and more wood is removed from the butt.
