Nial,
The Darne works was recently sold. I have no idea if the guns will be produced in the future. Pre 9-11 was a good time to be involved with an interesting French gunmaker, but, at this time, I think the handwriting is on the wall.
I've been playing with this gun and my shooter, and, oddly, this gun doesn't seem to be a whole lot lighter than my 12 gauge R10. The 12 is a very light 12 and this seems to be a little heavier 28 gauge. I wonder if I should take it out and shoot it?
I wouldn't mind seeing some pictures of your 16, Nial.
Best,
Ted
