[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 1987416, member: 711"] 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. It's a Riverside Arms Co, from Chicopee. MA [/QUOTE]
