Sounds like the gun offered by my friend in Minnesota. I just read his ad yesterday and it looked like a neat gun to me. Yes, we shoot light loads in Damascus 16s. Reloading is easy by RST shells are easier.

At the moment I probably shoot more damascus guns then I do fluid steel guns !

Shawn: it is likely that the chambers were extended from the original slightly less than 2 9/16", so it is critical (as with ANY vintage gun) that someone with the interest, expertise, and equipment carefully measure the wall thickness of the barrels; from breech to muzzle, with careful attention to the end of the chamber and forcing cone

If you make the purchase, let us know where you are and someone may be nearby. O frame 16s are a delight!
