Late Meriden GH 16g Skeet Gun

[Big D]

Rich - Interesting that there would be a 16 gauge skeet gun, given that 16 gauge is not one of the gauges shot in registered skeet

They made them as I have a match to Rich's gun one serial number off. They also made shells for the 16 for skeet I have some Winchester Skeet shells in my collection in 16. Again why when the 16 was not shot in registered skeet.

[C.O.B.]

I think when the game was first developed every guage other than the 8 & 10 guages were used hence the 16 as a skeet guage. It may have been used early on in registered shooting but I don't know. Perhaps Mr. Murphy could clear this up.
