Who had it re-modeled, you or someone else? It says on the label it came with a straight English stock, so it should not have needed re-modeling. Something is screwy with this.

I think somewhere we got lost in the back and forth of the discussion. I don't see a photo of the box in which Gary's gun came, only his description of what the label said. And nothing in that description about a straight stock. The box photo is from skeetx's gun. And I don't see anything on that label either about a straight stock.

Larry, in GaryO's initial post about what his label read, it included "straight English stock". That has since been edited out.

Aha. I must have missed the initial version. All I saw was the 2nd post, with a ? after "straight stock". Far as I know, all the Citori Lightnings are round knob guns. Superlights are straight, as is the Upland Special (which hasn't been made in some time).

John and Larry,

Thanks for clearing this up. I never saw the post with straight stock in it. I felt we were all well informed and certainly well intended and I couldn't understand our different statements. I am a Superposed Superlight person, but of course its not available in 16 gauge. I spent a lot of time researching and understanding the Citori nomenclature so that I could get the one I wanted, a superlight feather Citori in 16 gauge (light in weight and straight stock). Its not like you can go to your local gunshop and see all the various models to understand what they are.

Thanks again for your diligence in straightening this out.

John Boyd (Quality Arms) currently has several different Citori models in 16ga listed on his website. It can be confusing, and because the 16 was only a Browning standard production gun for a pretty brief period of time, it can be hard to keep track.

Also, there was a gun dealer in NC who offered some special runs of 16 ga. Citoris, maybe 10-15 years ago, one of which was a straight grip 28" "superlight-style" version. I remember their ads in DGJ and SSM. Could be one of those.

I think there have been several dealers, either working together or separately, that have had 16ga Citori "specials" made up. As I recall, Scheel's was involved in having a run of White Lightnings made in 16ga.
