David, that gun you show is exactly like all the ones I've seen. A nice field functional gun w/o decoration. A 30" 16 probably helps you with the follow-thru, too.
Unless there's something on that stock out of the picture, I don't think you really mean "Monte Carlo," tho. Looks more like a standard Germanic cheekpiece stock to me. To me "Monte Carlo" indicates a cheekpiece that actually raises the comb, sometimes just a bump that steps down to the wrist, sometimes like a whole dang walnut canned ham (the "California" or "Weatherby" style).
(Maybe somebody who really knows this stuff will chime in--if I'm wrong, I've been wrong for 50+ years and it's probably about time to get it right!)

Mike, I mis-phrased that, it is just a cheek piece and not a Monte Carlo.

David, if I had a nickel for every time I mis-wrote something, I'd have about 63 years worth of nickels plus interest....(Remember interest, anybody?).
Nice 16.

Hard to fault them for the money, Greg. The one that caught you eye is nice. I looked at it right after they took it in , when I was in Denver to check on Mom's health.
They were pretty solid on their asking price, but I do think that if a man counted out c-notes, they might budget a couple of hundred. At least that is what I thought then. Hi all, well I pulled the pin on this one!! It seemed to be in the best shape of the various 16ga guns out there for the price range I was looking for. In fact, I got her for much less than the asking price (by $500), so I think I did ok. Now to find out the model (if any!). Thanks so much for all your input, it helped me out quite a bit. I'm selling off my heavier 12ga guns and going to lighter more nimble guns, and I have to admit, I have a very warm soft spot for 16's. Again, thank you all, you've been grand! All the best! Greg
