Regarding Jim's comment about 16's fading out after a short time, most of the 16 offerings I can think of in recent memory have been clubs (e.g., 870 on a 12 frame, Baikals/Spartans, etc.), with the exception of the Citori 16 built on a scaled frame. Browning has no problem selling those. Browning is also getting lots of advance orders for its BPS 16ga due out this summer. Why? It's built on a 20 frame and it's affordable. The Merkel 1620, another lightweight scaled frame 16, also sells well. There is however, no quality, American-made, scaled frame lightweight 16 sxs on the market right now that I can think of, except for Tony's Foxes, which are Very expensive. Give people a reason to buy a 16, and they will. Discourage them from it, or deliver an inferior product, and they won't.

Given the success of the above examples, and if the price is right, I can't think of a good reason why a 16/20 combo wouldn't do well. Especially one with the cachet of the Lefever name.
