Clapper, I am interested in your comments. What do you see as "double Stamped?. Also, what do you mean by "the splotchy coloring where the hand typically carries says "Head and Shoulders" to me as well." What does' head and shoulders' mean?? I am a little slow so please help me understand. Please don't get offended, I just don't understand your post. But then I have already been placed into the category of "one born every minute" by Gunut so that is the mentality of who you are responding to. Well I must admit the moon shine business has been good so far and I can use another shotgun; and I have some uncommitted cash. I need to ask the seller if he needs some shine. Maybe we can do a deal?? Got some really good apple based stuff cooking as we speak. 16 gauge is not a problem. Pappy loads all our stuff and we only need it when we are fussed with.

Now Walt, you know them 16's ain't good for much being a dead gauge, with no ammo sold and not even a 3" much less the better 3 1/2". Heck they wont kill as far as 12. Are you trying to sucker them city boys into buying a couple of your old 16? I do know it is a good year for a taste but best run when it is colder.

Walt I had the same questions but didn't want to ask. I'm old and slow myself.

There "Have Been" 3" 16 gauge guns. In fact I have one, a 16 gauge H grade Lefever with 3" chambers. If memory serves me correctly it was in the late 1970's I was at my favorite gun shop of the time & a gentleman brought in a fired 3" 16 ga Remington Express SP hull he had found while deer hunting. He was in the mountains in one of the few areas in TN that holds a few grouse, so was possibly used for one of them. It was marked as 3 de-1˝ oz #7˝ shot as I recall. Wondered at the time just why anyone would want, or need, an ounce & a half of #7˝'s. Generally speaking by the time the pattern is getting too thin with an ounce of 7˝'s you need to be going to a larger shot size.
Anyway I would love to see the 16 make a grand comeback, but seriously hope an extra length "Magnum" version never catches on.

I'm sure someone will recall--I can't--but seems I remember that the 3" 16 didn't last for long. Miller's Lefever would be pre-WWI. I was thinking the 3" 16 came along later, but I might have been recalling McIntosh's reference in his Fox book to the fact that they attempted to make a 16 gauge Super Fox. Didn't succeed. CPT Askins wrote that he was involved in the effort, but they were unable to produce those 80% average patterns. He does not refer specifically to a 3" gun, but he does talk about "chamber, bore, choke and cone changes."

That is a little steep opening bid for a 16 gauge field grade with its inherent limited application. But, at 6 lbs. 2 oz. plus the sweet balance that the Flues has, definitely a sweet little upland game gun.
Or a gun to scatter those pesky 'revenuers' that snoop around in dem dar hills with a load of buckshot.

Generally speaking by the time the pattern is getting too thin with an ounce of 7˝'s you need to be going to a larger shot size. Ain't that the truth! I shot doves many years ago with a family who used 3 3/4-1 1/4-9 loads. Even as a 12-13 year old kid I knew that didn't make any sense. SRH
