We have a difference of opinion of British 16s. I have a Gallyon Birmy boxlock sixteen that weighs 5lbs-9oz. As far as ammunition availability unless you are shooting the Webley 700 28 your 28 British boxlock was designed to shoot 2-1/2" 9/16 oz loads in all probability. I have one, a Salter and Varge Birmy ejector, 25", that weighs 5lbs-3oz. RST doesn't make a 9/16oz 28 gauge shell the last I looked. But they do make a 16 gauge 2-1/2" 7/8oz shell, which was the standard service load for British 2-1/2" sixteens.


I am glad to be here.
