I shot several limits of Shenandoah Valley Doves with my 1909 vintage 28-inch barrel 16-gauge KE-Grade back in the late 1990s but it has been a safe queen since I moved west. Too many new toys to blood!! My notes show the gun weighs a fraction of an ounce under 7 pounds with .024" choke in both barrels. Lug is stamped 288 right and 293 left. Assuming the 16-gauges were targeted with 1 ounce of #8s (I've yet to see a 16-gauge hang-tag) -- 288/409 = 70.4%, 293/409 = 71.6%.

Frank's Remmy looks nicer in person than it does in photos! When the muzzles are in the right place they turn targets into diesel smoke.

You know how I feel about straight grip guns, any maker, any gauge. That is one of the nicest Remingtons I've seen. Hope to see it soon.
