I'll start it off--
My next 16 gauge will be a CSMC M-21 or a 16 gauge RBL. Both should be available by the time I have the $$$$. 30 inch barrels with screw chokes.
What about you? |

The first on i find on a rack that i like and can afford at that very minute.
Probably a Stevens single Shot...
But the DeH side by side is intresting... if it was to be a new gun

The DeHaan is a good gun for the money! |

A new Ithaca model 37 in 16 gauge made in Upper Sandusky, Ohio on their new CNC machining. And with it a 16 ga. rifled slug barrel !!!
Then I'll have an old one and a new one to keep it company. The company has told me they expect to have their 16's out by the end of 2007. They will be on Ithaca's true 16 ga. receiver with much better quality wood.
I normally don't care much for pumps, but the old Ithaca 16 I have which was made in 1952 is the sweetest swinging, light, with a great feel, pump I have ever shot. And it doesn't break the bank! |

A friends brother has a Baker Batavia Brush in 16 that needs some gunsmithing to make right. I'm waiting 'till he gets tired of looking at it....
Best,

If you guys would get off your duffs and find me the unmessed with Parker 20 bore that I've been trying to find for over a year and a half it would be that. 28" Imp/Mod DHE ,VHE,GHE, etc will do fine.
If that doesn't show it's face I've been talking about a M-21 for a heck of a long time.
And before you send me the hate mail about a 20 bore rest assured the 16's are represented in my safe better than 8-1 !
Cheers,
Brad |

OK-my wife gave me my morning medicine so it's back to reality
How about a 16g Ruger GL straight grip 28" brls two triggers choke tubes with a thin BTFE? I guess that's pretty delusional also |

Well, I hope my next one is a Parker (can't afford Doc's suggestions, though) or a nice A.H. Fox. |

I will just continue my lurking and looking for the Beretta 16g's that are surfacing every once in a while. They seem to come in bunches. Well, if bunches are defined as more than one at a time. Considering I don't see a large number of posts from people looking or buying, there is a great deal of competion when one shows up for sale.
Best,
Ron |

Can't go wrong with a LC Smith. Saving my money for that model 4E or 5E thats out there. The last half of Dove season begins this week and getting good reports of Dove around stock tanks in South Texas.
Good shooting FY 07,

It will be an Auto-5, Grade 2, Standard Sixteen (not "Sweet"), with a round knob pistol grip. I need it to go with my Standard Sixteen, Grade 1, straight stock.
BUT, if I find a bargain battered Sweet Sixteen I may pick it up for a project.......I have an aluminum trigger group, for an 16 ga A5. It weighs about 3 oz less than the stock peice BUT HERE IS THE KICKER...it has a straight tag. the project will be to restock a sweet with a straight stock and this alloy tang making the lightest Sweet Sixteen (n)ever produced.

There are 3 on my 'wish list'.
A friend has an extra Citori Feather that I am still trying to convinve him to sell to me.
Either a TriStar or CZ-USA side by side to use as an "intro" gun for shooters who want to try a double barrel and/or a 16 gauge.
A Kimber Valier with 28 inch barrels bored skeet and IC, straight grip, double triggers (Yes Larry, I am going to try them again), ejectors and upgraded wood.

I'm on the lookout for a Merkel 1620 -- unless something catches my eye and feels right first. |
