A PGCA letter is a must for this gun. Wonderful condition, whether or not the barrels are refinished. Forend installation looks very factory with correct lug and factory looking checkering pattern. What are the Remington repair codes? Looks like there may be more than one.

To George:
When did 16 gauge shells become hard to get? The Cabela's at Dundee has all you'd want to buy any day of the week. Should I stock up? Destry

Gorgeous! What a beauty. The front bead looks a bit larger than most originals but doesn't look as white as the replacements you see these days. Am I right on this?

until that Parker 12 just followed my home - 16 was just about all I shot. I've not run out yet.
i would summit that they were popular and are popular there was just a temporary lull in that popularity and then upland shooters came back to their senses.

I said relatively speaking. This is what i was alluding to: I miss all the nice compression formed WW 16's that i used to get. I am just not happy with the hulls that are out there now. They are NEVER on sale and they are pricey. BUT- you should always stock up. You can never have enough ammo. Besides-There is an election in November. |

Cabelas in wheeling ,Wv does not carry many 16 ga shells unless you want to shoot Fiochi Golden Pheasant loads . They sometimes have the Estate when they have a sale but even then rarely have more than a case or two. Dicks, will carry RGL's, but now dont want to sell them for the same price as the 12's and 20's, but I have been able to convince the manager to give them to me at the same price if I buy all they have--which is normally not more than a case or 2. Walmart doesn't seem to carry them either except for an occassional box of Rem Express at $15/ box. I have 9 cases laid away in the garage and was recently given a Mec 600,jr and am now enjoying those sweet 7/8 oz loads.

I have a stack of flats as tall as I am. I buy them at Dick's whenever they are on sale around five bucks. There may be no more, but I have a lifetime supply. Look for my obituary for a good buy.

Thats a very nice 16 and should make a fine bird gun.
The 16 is quickly becoming my favorite at both the SC course and the upland fields. A 7/8th oz load is hard to beat for both applications. I shoot only 2 1/2 inch low pressure loads and while I reload all mine RST is never out of 16's. |
