Patience and lots of looking paid off....

I gave that one a hard look. Really hard. The 30" barrels and the chokes pretty much had me sold. Had it been for sale by anyone else I probably would have caved.

Ryan: I understand..... It was too much for me to pass up.

I am very glad you picked it up, I am really looking for a 16 and this would have set me back for a while!

Ryan: This will sit beside my pristine Meriden Firearms Co. 30" 16 gauge. Keep looking, you'll find one.

Ryan: I think I may be done for a while myself.... but there is always....

Bruce, I also was watching that gun. Very good price from a dealer not known for that. Great looking gun.

I have been using slip
On Beartooth pads on some
Short Parkers. For 25 or so you have several inserts that would be perfect

I agree everyone else, especially Brian. It's a shooter, don't change what it is. You'll end up regretting it. I've had this 1904 vintage 20 for quite a while. It was bought new and stayed in the same family for 3 generations. Too long of story and history to go into, but I wouldn't want this any other way. She's nothing pretty, but she's quite the little shooter! I shoot this better than my "pretty ones". Don't strip your new shooter of all the stories it could tell you of it's days spent in the field.
