16ga

[Michael D Hankinson]

I have always loved the 16G, have a pair of Model 12s, Light and Heavy, two side by sides and have plenty of Ammo, One of the side by sides is 2-1/2" so got that when I purchased that gun. 8 Boxes from the prior owner and then from other suppliers and from Gun shows. I retired back in 1998 and the older gun shows had plenty of 16s for dirt cheap prices. Now at 82 I know my sons will have to carry some of the out of the gun room down the road.

I have had many 16ga guns over the years, killed many birds with them.I am down to only 2 at this time, A Parker GH 30" a real nice gun and my Merkel that I've had for near 40 years, she has 29 3/16 " barrels, weight of 6lb 7oz ,handles like a dream and has killed many grouse and woodcock over the years. I may be hooked on the 28-gauge at the moment but I still love the 16ga.
