[Bruce Day]

1921 PHE 16ga. Original 2 9/16" chambers, Lt mod and Mod. 6lbs10oz, 1 frame.

I've put about 10,000 to 15,000 rounds through it of the pictured shells since 1970. Before I got it, my grandfather ran about 20,000 to 30,000 rounds through it. Still tight,lever centers. Shot everything from geese to quail. My grab and go gun.

[TARNATION !!!]

Bruce: Taking the total of the low numbers, I would need 300 or more hunting seasons to use that amount of ammo. The ammo shown is all plastic hull; however, your grandfather would have been shooting in the paper era. Was 2 3/4 paper part of the 20-30000 he passed through this gun?? Great go to gun.

Dean: I have not seen barrels with a full ring bulge but I have seen a gun with barrels that were both approx half ringed beyond the forcing cones. Any thoughts on that type of damage??
