Just had an auction here in Vermont and they had a slew of model 12s going quick to dealers in the $400 range. There are many 16s out there and you can have fun looking for a real good one at a good price. A very many of them are full choke.
Model 12 in 16 ga is a very sweet gun - and earns the title "The Perfect Repeater". The hand polishing throughout production really shows.
Passed on the family 16 to a nephew last month and will replace it soon. Have them in 12 and 20 ga. And the .410 (mod. 42) is the cats meow - earning the title "America's Sweetheart".
Good hunting.
