I know there are a couple of posters here who have substantial inventories of 16 ga. Winchester compression formed hulls on hand from the old days, so I figured it doesn't hurt to ask. I have the following components I'd like to trade for 16 ga. Winchester compression formed hulls:

500 once fired Black Remington Game Loads...trade for 125 Winchesters.

15 bags of 250 WWAA16 blue wads....trade for 375 hulls (25 hulls per bag of wads).

At this point I'm not interested in trading for anything other than the hulls. If nobody's interested I'll end up eventually using the stuff myself.

If interested send me a pm.

Thanks for looking.

Skeet shooting wearing out your stash of WAA16s? Pump guns can be hell on hulls. Especially when ejecting them in to mud and snow...

Never hurts to ask but the truth is -and I believe I speak for those with any amount of AA 16's--The dog,truck and wife would go first Embarassed

Seriously too bad there is a VERY limited number of these hulls left -I have NEVER seen any at gun shows ,yard sales ,etc.--there was a post here recently for some--12 bucks a 100 Shocked

It would be great for Winchester to revive this hull now that Claybuster has the AA16 wad in production again Exclamation

They are still around. last year I bought 6 or 8 new boxes of loaded rounds for $5.00 a box.

Have not shot them yet, saving for something special when it happens.

I also have some loaded with buck-shot. Wink

Yep, the Dog, Wife & what ever will go first. Smile

I was the guy who sold them at $12 per 100. That was shipped so I felt was very inline with the market. After the sale it amounted to $9 per 100.

Update:

First of all thanks to all for the views and responses. Sorry for the late acknowledgement. Got busy and forgot about this, thinking it was dead. (Looks like it is huh)!?

I knew I was swimming upstream here but thought I'd just try anyway. I didn't give my original offer a whole lot of thought except to try and be fair while possibly scrounging a few CP hulls in a swap that would bring some satisfaction to the other party too! It's obvious I was wrong! I just guessed at 4:1 for the hulls. Hope I didn't offend anybody or appear insane (or worse yet...unreasonably cheap). I know it's not likely to change anything but I'll take fewer Winchesters for the Rems if anybody wants to make me an offer before I take em' off the block.

Also it might not have been clear in my original post, but I'll trade individual bags of the wads for hulls too. I'm not looking for a whole quantity deal for the wads.

Russ...my "stash" is so small it's more rightly called a "small sample". About as useful as one of those teeny-tiny bites of cheese and crackers or salsa you get when the local grocer is hawking a new item. It's pretty much non-existent. The pumpguns are not all that bad in the winter. And when I short shuck from being frozen, it means I have one less to pick up and everybody gets to enjoy my acrobatics during the ensuing world class flinch manifested when I drop the hammer on a spent hull or empty chamber. Sometimes l almost sprain my "advanced middle age" neck while flinching so hard. See you around the club soon hopefully.

Again, thanks to all.

I have a box of empty AA's somewhere and a new flat of them loaded which I could shoot some of. I have plenty of Rem hulls but could use some wads.
I am in MD.
