Was it a breech birth?

Fess up. I'll bet you talk baby-talk to it. (I sure would!)

That’s light. What length are the barrels?

Wow, 2lbs 13 oz unstruck barrel weight for a 16, are they 26"? That is one light gun, never had one under 6 lbs. Great find, looks like a solid gun. I'd like to feed that baby some of my nice light 3/4 and 7/8 oz loads.
How is it choked?

Thank you for the comments everyone, very funny! Harold, yes, it's 26" even though I've been looking for a year for one with 28" barrels on an O frame. Matches the serialization book and appears to be honest. There is a small stock repair, but looks like someone may have put a swivel in for a sling, so there's a plug. It's choked IM/F and damn I wish it was more open. Took it out an hour after I got it and did 19/25 at skeet (RST Falcon Lite #8) which for me is about what I do with my clays gun on many days. LOP is 14 1/8" a tad short but with bird hunting gear it's going to be a dandy. Shooting that round I kept forgetting it was a 16, sure handles nice for me. Anyone care to help with how to develop a "spreader" load in 16? I don't find spreader wads, only the Polywad thumbtack thingy.

Andy I have used that Polywad Thumbtack Thingy and patterned at least 3 different guns with them. I have actually been quite impressed with the results. All 3 were 12 gauge guns. They are a PITA to reload admittedly. Now I probably have 10 boxes or more loaded for clays and I don't even take them to the shoots. I need to use them up.

I have been using the polywad in 12,16,20 and 28ga. They really work,give them a try.
