Larry,
That 16 Darne you used to own popped up on my radar a few weeks past. The current owner is very much in love with it, and reports no issues with it, at all. He has shot it a fair amount, more than enough to decide if it is a keeper. He says it is. But, he is a guy who owns about four of them.
Best,
Ted
I'm glad it found a good home. When I bought it, I thought that would be the gun to convince me I needed to own a Darne. Unfortunately, it didn't work out for me. I think I needed to buy one back in 1976, when I spent the summer in France and saw and handled several of them. Sometimes timing is everything.
