Here is a beautiful English hammerless sidelock in a 16 gauge I have for your consideration. This is a very cool 16 gauge with long barrels, great stock dimensions, and great chokes for any upland hunting you want to do. Vickers is the English gun maker that built the Vickers machine gun that helped win WWI. This sidelock is in excellent unrestored condition. Here are the specs:

I purchased it from Kirby Hoyt and Vintage Doubles. I don't have any history past that. This is a steal for a side lock 16 Gauge.

Should be a nice pheasant gun. Have you hunted with it much and where did you get 2 1/2" 16 ga shells?

I hand load 2 1/2” loads on a Mec jr 600 and short kit. I have shot some roosters with it. The 30” barrels make it a great shooting gun.
