This is a nice looking Belgian made 16 gauge SxS with 30" Damascus (twist) barrels. Chokes are Full and Cylinder. The bores are very good with some very light frost. No pitting. Right barrel has a small dent about midway that shows inside. This is not a problem shooting intended 2.5" black powder shells. Marked NOT FOR BALL in French. Receiver has traces of case color. Lockup is tight on face. Both hammers have slight wiggle on tumblers, but function fine. Wood is in very good condition with worn checkering. Right side of buttstock has an interesting knot or burl. Stable. LOP is 13"/14". Buttplate is modern replacement. Nice Antique 16 gauge ships direct to you for $400 TOTAL. New to forum and do not see how to post photos. I can email to interested parties.

The gun does have twist steel barrels stated. That said, I shoot several twist steel Parkers 16's and a Belgium twist 20. I load 2 1/2" low pressure shells with light payloads( 3/4 and 7/8 oz) with modern smokeless powder. Personally, I wouldnt want to mess with Black powder. The gun sounds interesting, but I have 2 16 hanner guns already. The price seems right.
