How desirable 2 frame 16?

[Phil C]

I plan on taking a tape, bore, chamber and thickness gauges with me. Since it has been a year since I looked at it. Due to the butt stock damage, weight, and the price the lady was asking for it I passed on it. The soonest I can look at it again is this Wednesday. I guess I need to make it a priority. Otherwise I will need to wait until October 1. I will try to take some pictures.

I agree with Brian. It is a scarce gun worth adding to your collection.

I was fortunate enough to recently pick up a 34" #2 frame 16. (one of our members is a true gentleman and was very kind in offering the gun to me )

I really like the gun, its weight distribution/ balance/ etc.
It is the first 16 gauge I have ever handled that felt "right" to me. I cant wait to get her out at the Fall Southern.

Most 16s are too light/ whippy/ etc.

If the barrels are in good condition and it is mechanically sound I would rec you get her. Wood can always be fixed or replaced.

Brian and Mr Murphy have given you good advice.

Best of luck.
