Very nice, I've handled many of those at Champlin Firearms, and have always thought them to be interesting.
I have one of those too...Sears Robuck
Thanks! I've dreamt of a pheasant/muley hunt with it!
yep. pretty fun, guess i should pick up some more ammo.
Was raised with a 16 guage and still think they are great for b'whites, but sadly there are few around here anymore. I'm afraid the 16 is on the way of the dodo.
I have an old Winchester model 21 that my grandpa bought in the 30's. I've killed a ton of rabbits, pheasant and steel plates with It. I bought a bunch of cases of ammo for it a decade ago, shouldn't run out any time soon
I have 2 sxs zatavia doubles and a rem. lightweight mod 31, that I shoot at tri-city a couple times a week,(informal clays). I also reload for them, because of the ammo cost.
I love 16's! I've got a Browning BPS and an early 70's model 870. Both get quite a good amount of time in the field. Ammo can be a little pricey, but I've been fortunate enough to find good closeout deals over the years and purchase it in bulk at great prices.
I used to know an old man who despised the 16. "Shoots like a 20, kicks like a 12." I think his view was a little extreme, but it has always been a niche gun, and todays gun market simply won't support it. The 16 is a poster child for shotshell reloading, and if you do that you should be able to build loads that will serve you better than the limited factory offerings.
Also, reloading will assure you that you will never want for ammo if it gets closer to extinct on the ammo shelves.
I own only one, a double barreled rabbit-eared inheritance that I have never fired, but it holds a permanent place in my safe. I may get it checked out and worked on a little, and try it out. One of the firing pins appears to have a bad spring, and stays down when depressed.
