Picked up a Belgian made Sweet Sixteen with dark reddish wood and a 26” IC solid rib barrel. She seems to fit me well: seems all I have to do is shoulder it and get it pointed in the birds the general direction and pull the trigger. Guns hell on phez and I dream of spending a morning in a duck blind with it but it’s a bit cumbersome in the grouse woods. As stated above: just one of those guns everyone needs to have in their safe.

Still have and shoot my dads Sweet Sixteen my mom and I bought for him when duck hunting some mud blew the barrel of his Remington model 11 humpback. Bought for him in 1961 paid $265 at Oshmans sporting goods in Houston. Boy did I have fun with him hunting growing up he is totally responsible for my love of guns and the hunt. God Bless Him, your son David

Funken was one of the top FN engravers and I believe he taught in their engraving school.

It's easy to see why Bill.

Felix Funken was THE top FN engraver and in fact founded the FN engraving school, which turned out a dozen or so master engravers, several of whom were women. Gaston Vandermissen, Louis Vrancken, Andre Watrin, Gustav Mueller, Ambrose Gillet, Oliviere Paque, Mademoiselle Lea Van Lar, the Marechal family (3 men, 1 woman), Jean Diet, and my personal favorite, Marie Louise Magis, were some of the incredible talents he fostered and nurtured.

Well the A-5 12 Mag at the shop followed me home today . It has a 28" modified barrel , I think I just might be willing to chance steel in it . Wanna find a Belgium 12 mag slug barrel for it .

If the A-5 Mag 28" MOD barrel is in fact original to the gun, you have a rare bird! (Especially so if its a vent rib barrel). This combination is very seldom encountered. I would think carefully about risking steel shot in it.
