Hi all! Just joined the forum, been away from shotgun forums for a few years, was more active on S&W forum and Cast Boolits forum for past several years. Many years ago was active on Shooting Sportsman BB, CMP Forum, recently starting dabbling on ShotgunWorld.
Love all shooting and reloading, but shotguns were my first love. 16 ga always held a soft spot. I currently have 3 16s, my Citori Lightning, a 1966 Sweet 16 A5, and my late father in laws Manhattan Arms SxS (no name hardware store gun, likely a Fulton or Crescent.)
Skeet, sporting, 5 stand, occasional trap, plus assorted pistol and rifle dabbling. Hunt upland, sort of casually deer hunt. Reload for everything, cast bullets for my pistols and rifles. To pay the mortgage, feed my family. and pay for guns and components I was a band teacher for 35 years, but retired in '23.
Hope I can contribute, looking forward to hanging out. |

Plorini,
Welcome to the 16 forum, have fun. I was one of the charter members on the SSBB, helped Ralph get it started. It finally went under due to some very bad characters that were allowed to destroy that once great forum. I wish I could talk Ralph into restarting the SSBB under stricter guide lines to operate.
all the best,
