I didn't know they made sixteens anymore. My father had one and the shells became very scarce around my neck of the woods.

Thanks guys. Some makers still offer the 16 bore new, but this one isn't. I haven't dated it yet but I'll estimate her around 40 years old.

Very,very sweet!!!!! Can you say, "reloading"???? congrats on your new gun.

 

[pharaoh2]

Thanks! Actually lucky for me ammo isn't that hard to find.

Nice.

I have one that was given to me by my grandfather for high school graduation. It was a gun that was shared by his father and uncle at one time. It is a safe queen because of the sentimental value.

That gun should make a fine ditch tiger gun as well. :lol:

Ditch parrot :LMFAO: Never heard that before, had to google it.

 

[pharaoh2]

I mean it with the upmost respect when I call them that. :mrgreen:

I just polished up the barrels a little bit. I took some gun porn pics the other night, she cleans up well.

After a little online research, I've learned this gun was probably made between the late 30's to the late 40's. Though I want to say 1949, the markings just don't match up. I wish I could find a bit more definitive age, but suffice it to say, that's old enough.
