16 gauge is an anachronism four times removed or a 4th degree anachronism. The owners are anachronisms more or less. We're either fading boomers or soon to be. Most of us hunt, another waning way of life, vilified by many, enjoyed and pursued by fewer per capita than before. Then there is the doublegun aspect. We treasure and use guns many of which haven't been in production for over a century. Among us who treasure the doublegun are the lovers of 16 gauges. The first gun I bought with earned money was a Sweet 16. I no longer have it, but have a half dozen 16 gauge doubles that were made between 110 and 75 years ago and a handful of pumps in 16 gauge between 67 and 53 years old.

Gil when you put it like that, it just makes me want to double down on 16's!
