That’s a sweet setup Harold! I bet those 20ga barrels were hard to find.

David, I was on my way back from South Dakota last year when good friend Edgar Spencer called me about those barrels. They took very little fitting( Dave Fjeline), and I am very happy with them.

Harold, you seem to be making the most out of retirement(!) Some days I have more things to do than I have time to do them, but hunting always is a priority.
I love that little gun!

Thanks Garry, I was shooting 7/8 oz of straight 7's, reloads, I find it to be quite effective, but would go with a stouter load on wild birds.

Harold, can you give us a rehash on how this gun came to be? Two barrel 16-20 is worth going over again.

Bill, the original gun was a Quality/Grade O 16 hammer gun with original 26" Twist barrels. Last January, Edgar called me and said a friend had picked up the 28" set of Twist barrels, but didnt need them. I bought them, and they almost snapped on, probably would have, but didnt want to force them. Dave Fjeline fit them up for me. I seem to shoot the longer barrels much better.
