Dude,
Skeettx is correct, I had a 12 gauge no-name Belgium made gun like the 16 gauge you have (mine didn't even say W Richards on it). I used to shoot it at local SXS events using Winchester AA Low Recoil/low noise shells. People asked what it was so often, I finally had JABC lazer engraved in big letters on the locks. Like Skeettx said, even with its humble origin it was still fun to shoot.
