#3 Frame 16ga - How rare?

[TNR]

Recently I was at a charity clays shoot and an acquaintance of mine, who loves and knows Parkers but is not a PCGA member, brought along a 16ga GH on a #3 frame. She is a beauty too.

I was curious - can anyone comment on how rare a #3 frame 16ga is?

[Jim DiSpagno]

That is a rare bird for sure

how much does this 3 frame 16 weigh...it is a rare gun...charlie

Wow. Very rare. Tell us more about it.

I need to get up with him to learn more - She is big and heavy. I honestly thought it was a 12ga but at the last moment he tells me "oh this is a 16ga - on a 3 frame!"

And at that point the event began and i didnt get a chance to ask him about it again that morning but i will!

My #3 frame 16 is an 8 3/4 pound, 28" VH. I have no idea why anyone would order such a gun, but I just couldn't let it get by me.

Either a very large man or someone who was very recoil sensitive!!!

Or someone like me who likes to shoot a heavy gun at clays. I would love to give one a test drive
