I dug out my one and only 16 gauge to show off. A Stevens 235. It's an ugly duckling compared to the beautiful guns pictured. I suspect it put quail, rabbit, squirrel and maybe a duck or two on some family table back in the depression days.
I've not shot it - yet. Having more time, yesterday I bought a box of Magtech brass. I've corrected primer pocket problems with the brass and getting ready to load. The old gun has an easily repairable hair line crack in the buttstock behind the action. I need to get some Acraglas to make that repair before I shoot it.
It feels like a toy compared to my big 10 gauge shotguns.
