I have took interest in NID-16 and have started looking for hi condition light weight one with modern dimensions
I had a 1936 vintage 28-inch mod & full Field Grade that weighed 6 pounds 7 ounces, but went ga ga for this 26-inch ic & mod, high condition, 1941 vintage, 4E with twin ivories, single selective, and original recoil pad --





but, the boys at Fall Creek Waterpower Lot #6 didn't spend near enough time striking the barrels or trimming down the stock, and it weighs 7 pounds 2.6 ounces!!

Point being, really light weight NID 16-gauges are hard to find in my experience.
