I have a lot of 16-gauge guns, but none are very light. Lightest is my SP-Grade, 28-inch barrel, A.H. Fox at 6 pounds, 6.2 ounces.

Much rarer than the old 3-inch shells, the ammunition catalogs back in the day also offered 2 7/8-inch 12-, 16- and 20-gauge shells. I have seen 12-gauge --

While I own all common lengths of barrels, over the past 60 years I've fired far more shells through 28-inch barrels than all others combined. My three most used Ansley H. Fox doubles are all 28-inch ...

Your "Sportsman" must have after-market wood, as the "Sportsman" always came with checkered wood.

Early on "The Sportsman" had quite a large patch of checkering on t ...

Way to go Brewster11. Good to hear of the 16-gauges getting out in competition.
