ihave a number of them the marlin 39 , win 9422 , henry golden boy , mosberg palomino , are fine for a larger young person , but the henry H001Y and browning BL22 are better for the smaller youth ,
you also might consider a winchester 1890 or 1906 - also made currently by rossie , these pumps are acceptable as they have hammers ,
and yes i have them all so i do know from where i speak ,
