Richard,
If you'll take your time and watch the various sites like gunbroker. You can probably find an O-frame 16ga that has some issues like cracked wood, all case colors & blue gone,etc. for under $2000.00. It sounds like the ideal one for you would be one with a broken stock, but good barrels. Then you could have the barrels fit to you fathers gun and have it back in business.
I just found & purchased a solid shooter VH O-Frame 16ga with good 28" barrels & decent original wood finish for $1700.00 They are out there but you have to be ready to pounce when you find one.
