Mike called me a few times out of the blue, asking a question or offering information about something. I can't even remember what exactly, but I remember him always being a true gentleman and a clas ...

Have several 20's in 12 and 16 bore , have a very pretty Damascus barreled heavily engraved Husky in 16 .

Shot more than a small truckload of birds in the Dakota's with the under lever guns I reall ...

Huskies are pretty much all I shoot. Some are heavy, some aren't. I've had 16's that weigh around 6 lbs, and others around 7lbs. They made great guns for 300 years, so there are lots to choose from ...

Here is a 16 from a French maker I've never heard of before, and he was apparently an understudy of Thomas Woodward of English fame, or perhaps borrowed his design? Not sure. This beautiful damascus ...

Didn't get out this fall as much as I'd hoped. I did have a great chukar hunt in eastern Oregon though, and if the weather clears, I hope to get out a couple more times by the time the season ends Ja ...

Nice find! With that line border engraving it reminds me of a Lefever G grade but with hammers. Cool.

Was it ordered with that wood or did you luck out?

I lucked out, but I did enhance the grain somewhat to make it pop. I shortened the forend about ...

I could be wrong, but it seems like the lack of market share for 16ga offerings is self perpetuating. I rarely buy off the shelf 16ga ammo because [affordable] off the shelf ammo is rarely available ...

Any follow up on this? Curious what the end result was/is.

This is a major reason I like round body hammer guns, especially small frame round body back action ones. Carry comfort is amazing.

I'm a bit surprised only 10% of upland hunters list the 16 as their favorite gauge. I can't think of a more perfect upland gauge than the 16.

Hmmmm... three people with almost no experience with 16's, talking about 16's and the usual tropes about they are mostly around for nostalgia, etc. Sigh.

Yeah, it was pretty bad. Luckily, the area where I hunt was ok, but only by about ten miles. Sigh.

Had a great opening weekend chukar hunting. The weather here in Oregon was glorious, and it was so nice just to be out with my setter. We were both going a little stir crazy. It didn't hurt that we ...
