Treblig,
I don't hunt waterfowl, but, on occasion, find myself pheasant hunting in an area that is a no-tox zone. I have one rarely visited spot that allows for either pheasants or ruffed grouse, which, is no-tox only.
This gun was supposed to go to a friend of mine, but, he is knee deep in the restoration of his 1967 GTO, that he bought in 1979, and held onto, despite being married twice, and divorced twice-you got to respect that.
Anyway, I sold a 16 gauge Ithaca pump, which left me with but one 16, and the no-tox ammunition was picked up along the way, somewhere.
The gun is a 1937 vintage Nitro Special, produced with 2 3/4" chambers, and I fear no 2 3/4 16 gauge load in the old girl. I have a 12 or two I could pull the same off with as well, but, doing it in 16 has more panache.
Might not be a good idea long term, but, it is very seldom that I HAVE to use no-tox, and this is working OK, at this point, for me.
A poster here thought I should send the Nitro down the road as it seemed too utilitarian, but, hell, it works. 26" tubes with factory cyl and mod chokes.
Best,
Ted
