I spent 7 years looking for a 16 gauge when I turned 18. I’ve found 3 this past week and bought 2 of them both are single shots made before WW2. The 16 gauge is my favorite.
Nice gun! My father gave me mine in the late 50s for Christmas. He gave me and my two brothers the same model 16ga stevens shot gun.He got them from Western Auto store. Mine also got stolen around 1987. I never was able to find another one. I hope you enjoy yours for a long time. Thanks for sharing yours.
Nice gun somebody must have refinished the wood before you got it they came with the stain right in the varnish it would flake right off from the day they were new
Looks like a squirrel getter for sure. I'm sure you are aware there are or used to be some pretty good high performance loads available. Probably have to order them. Hopefully they aren't all sold out.
Love the video on your shotgun I've got one real close to that I got a Stevens Springfield model 94 Series N in a 12-gauge absolutely love it was my very first shotgun I ever bought with my own money back in 1989 I was 22 years old i am 57 years old now I still love it I'm not sure when mine was made mine is a series N
