[QUOTE=Dean Romig;444365]As Dave says, the top lever quickly became what the market wanted. If you don’t provide what the market demands your sales decline… simple.


Regardless... it was simply better in my opinion.

I agree Darryl, as many of us do.

[QUOTE=Daryl Corona;444372]Daryl, which design are you saying was better?

[QUOTE=Dean Romig;443058]If I could ever afford it I’d love to have an early 0-frame sixteen gauge AHE with 28” Bernard barrels choked CYL/FULL with twin ivories. It would have double triggers, straight grip with a skeleton butt plate. It would have 14 1/4 LOP beautiful marble cake imported walnut with a 2 3/8” drop. A fully checkered forend would top it off I think.
I’m very sorry I don’t have a picture except in my mind’s eye.


Just a little longer stock, and I cold live with a pistol grip, or round knob as long as it still had the skeleton steel buttplate.

Loved seeing all those beautiful 16 gauge guns.

Thanks to all that posted so those of us that are less fortunate can wish.
