16ga

[Brazos A-39]

I find that the older I get, the more I appreciate the story or provenance of a gun as much as the firearm itself. Pretty cool story Randy!

[J. A. EARLY]

16 gauge

I.C right with 1 ounce or 15/16 ounce
Full left with 1 1/8 ounce

Have 2 Parkers and one Bernadelli Gamecock like this for doves and rabbits. All the Bobwhites are extinct and I did not cause it.

Sweet 16 A5 modified also for doves.

Went to Bass Pro in Foxboro Mass yesterday and bought a 16 ga Browning A5 new. I'll shoot it tomorrow, Friday, on clays at the club.

Allen, a new production one? Please update I was considering one of these, like I really need it

Here's my faves. Win 21 #4 engraving, Parker DHE, Fox CE, Parker PH
Win 21 field, Ithaca field. I have a few more. I like 16's

[BRDHNTR]

Yes, a new production one

[C.O.B.]

My first 16 was a Browning (Belgium) with 28 inch vent rib barrel. I used it for everything from rabbits to geese. It was definitely a sweet 16 especially for $150.

I have a Parker DHE 20 with sling swivels that letters with them. IIRC it was an added $3.00.

What was the year of production of that DHE Rich?

In 1913 ejectors were a $25 option.

If things had went as I thought, I would be posting pics of a first year of production Browning A-5 16 ga. serial #1912. It was not a Sweet 16 as they did not make them till later. It belonged to my father, and I grew up using it for all types of small game hunting. I loved that old gun. It had been hunted hard was worn to the point that it would fire twice occasionally. One day several years ago I was visiting my elderly parents and went back to my old bedroom where the gun rack was only to find out the old 16 ga. Browning was not there. I asked my dad who was in his mid 80's where the gun was, and he said, "I sold that old thing." I said why and he said "I didn't need it"; I can't hunt anymore. When I asked him how much he got for it he said" I got $200 for it, l was mad as hell. I found out who he had sold it to and tried to get it back, but it had already been sold to someone else that was not known to the seller.
