Still, I would not trade my 34" 8 gauge and have recently become an afficionado of short barrelled guns


Mills knowing that you have turned the corner and are admiring the short barreled guns coupled with your passion for the 16 bore and the C grades I may have stumbled upon your dream gun. #138835, an Acme barreled CH 16 gauge with 22" barrels BTW I have one of Daryls guns, a 36" DHE 12 ga.
