Hi Gary, I carried a GH 16 gauge I picked up a couple years ago at a local gun show and a Win.21,16 gauge I found locally too.Both guns are 28" and choked a bit tight for Grouse hunting but a delight to carry.Ironically my grandparents last name was Hanson,and I live on the farm that my great grandparents settled on.Evidently not as popular as the Wisconsin or Minnesota Hansons as there are no roads around here named after them.There is however a slough on the property once called Hanson Slough.It has since been drained but stays wet most of the year so not farmed.I have my Great Grandfather's Win.Model 97,16 gauge that am told took a lot of geese from the slough back in the day.It is a early short chambered gun with full choke.It was well worn so I had it rebuilt and reblued and I refinished the wood. I take it out after a rooster now and then.
