I have searched the site and haven't found what I am looking for.

Does anyone have a list of steel-barreled 16 ga SXS's that are or were built on 20 ga frames?

Thank you.

AH Fox first came out with a 20 gauge and then built a 16 gauge on that frame. So all the real Fox 16s are on a 20 gauge frame.

You can find 16 gauge Parkers on an "O" frame, nominally the 20 gauge frame.



I am glad to be here.

Lefever 16 gauges, with an "XX" marked on the frame are built on a 20 ga. frame.

The pre-Folsom Baker Batavia 16ga is a scaled frame. Not sure if a true 20ga size as no pre-Folsom 20ga guns were mfg, but my Baker 16 weighs 2oz more than my '28 vintage Sterlingworth.

SAC mfg light wt 16's.

Ithaca also mfg'd some very svelte 16's.

So if you can get a 16ga on a 20ga frame safely was it really a 20ga frame to begin with?

Is the true scale of a frame the important factor? Or is adequate strength at minimum weight and balance enough?

One of the few guns made where the 16-gauge and the 20-gauge each had their own unique frame was the Remington Model 11 and "Sportsman" autoloaders

The Kireghoff Essencia in both sidelock & triggerplate versions built by Jens Ziegenhahn & the versions that Ziegenhahn sells under his own name are available in 16 ga on a 20 ga frame.

I have one w/29" bbls that weighs 6 lb even.
