That statement may account in part for a gun of exactly those specifics having been, implausibly, voted first prize winner in the 2021 Upland Gun-themed “People’s Choice” awards.

A 16g on an O frame with unstruck bbl weight of 2-14!! Shoot plenty of birds with that beauty! I'd love to inherit a gun like that.

Looking at photo number 2, I'd say you have a gun with a shell extractor rather than an ejector gun.
