| "Poses as a 16, but then turns from the mirror in regret". All joking aside, it's an interesting gun. Perhaps a lace up leather recoil pad can be a temporary solution to the L.O.P. Of course, if your heart is set on something else, return it...unless you can make a substantial profit then buy something else nicer than your refund will support. That could take patience though; I'm unsure of how much 14 ga. collector interest there is. |

I'm with you. I'm not sure either. |

| What about some machine shop time to make a pair of chamber adapters to 16? Then it can be a 14 if you find brass hulls; or an over-bored 16 the rest of the time. |

| Not a drop in like a 28 in a 16. I was thinking press in soft steel turned to match a chamber casting then chamber ream to 16ga, Like restoring a classic chainsaw cylinder that doesn't have aftermarket support... |

YUP, I understand !!
Gotta restore them to a useful arm
Wonder if the extractors will catch
the 16 gauge rim? |

They don't. A 16 slips right past them. I'm shipping it back today for a refund. I could mess with it, but when it comes down to it, I'm just not in love with it.  |

Uncle Dan,
Just curious, did you ever return the 14 gauge gun, and get you money back?
