My ISIDE 16 ga. weights 6 lb. 4 oz. with 28" barrels. It feels very small in the field. Good luck on your purchase.

When looking for loads try the old lyman books. There are many loads for HS-6 and the w-540 which is the same powder with a different name.

Years ago I purchased a Do-All Buggy which holds two guns and shells. It will fold for storage and transport. The price was around $150. I think Midway has it on line.
Good shooting,

Sounds like rib work. I have heard reference to laying a new rib or relaying a rib that has come loose. Good luck.

Looks a great deal like my Beretta 16 gauge 411E which is my go to field gun. If it fits I wouldn't wait too long.
