Daryl Middlebrook had a 40" GH 8 on display at the Southern years ago. It was raining and some water had accumulated on it. I wiped the water off and figured Daryl wouldn't mind my picking it up and handling it, since I just saved it from rust. It handled well and you would not know it was 40 inches.

Still, I would not trade my 34" 8 gauge and have recently become an afficionado of short barrelled guns

Mills knowing that you have turned the corner and are admiring the short barreled guns coupled with your passion for the 16 bore and the C grades I may have stumbled upon your dream gun. #138835, an Acme barreled CH 16 gauge with 22" barrels BTW I have one of Daryls guns, a 36" DHE 12 ga.

That sounds very nice Randy, will it be along in Sanford in a couple weeks?

Probably not Stan, It's not made for Sanford type targets. I have shot some sporting clays with it but mostly wobble trap.

Is that bad boy on a 3 frame ?

Mills, Daryl would have been more than happy to have you heft it and swing it.

I did not know Daryl well, but remember him offering any assistance he could give when I bought my 8 gauge. I could tell he was a good guy

[Dean Romig]

He was a super good guy! Smoked like a chimney but a great friend. Fun to talk with too - very big into airplanes and was very involved with Penn Yan Aero.

The sixteen gauge A1-SPL is a good looking gun but the min wall thickness .010, .011 would make it un shootable to me, maybe it is a typo error ? Gary

Daryl Middlebrook's 40" GH 8. I remember it handling amazingly well and not feeling front heavy despite the length of the barrels.

Does it come with a drop-down shooting stick ?
