I passed on a 16ga Model 24 years ago and have always been sorry. I already have one of those Stevens slab sided .410's, so obviously ugly guns don't scare me off
. But I probably shouldn't be on this thread anyway as I'm not a collector; just an old bird hunter lucky enough to own a few decent hunting guns and a couple for the trap range, and happy with those. BUT...I like 28" barrels, double triggers, extractors, splinters, and guns that look like they have been around a while and have a few stories to tell...kinda like me.
