I have 5 Parker 16's, 3 Fox 16s, a Lefever G, Ithaca 4E, Fair Rizzini, and a neat German 16 hammer gun, plus a beat up set of 34" barrels for a hammer gun. For years I shot pretty much nothing but 16s, until I picked up an old VHE 20 which is now my favorite grouse gun . Ammo is always more difficult to find, but years ago I bought a huge supply of 16 ammo from a friend who had died, and then started reloading.
Marty, a 1 frame 16 at 6lbs 3oz is lighter than many O frames, great gun.
