It depends on the gun. Last one I bought didn't even make it to gun shop display rack. I go to Walmart to buy Normandy Salad, Pomi strained tomatoes, and Canadian herring in wine sauce. When they stopped carrying Old Croc cheese I found cheese and butter from Ireland at German store called Aldi. Now I get Chilean Salmon, Canadian apple pie, Canadian honey and few other select items from them to Walmarts loss.

Ok, last time I checked ammo section at Walmart and they had Australian Winchester 16ga 8s, 16ga Remington 1&1/4oz mag 6s along with 16ga 1oz and 1&1/8oz 6s from Federal. That fact should answer your question about where the status of 16ga is.
