two thoughts...

- once had a 16 ga parker, built on a 20 ga 00 frame, with under three pound barrrels. whole gun weighed just six pounds, as i recall...rehomed it with grouse hunter from minnesota, as i recall...now we all know that most parkers are heavier than sin, but not awl...

- consider the ithacas...early 16 ga flues guns generally run about six pounds. the 28" guns are wonderfully balanced...nids are certainly sturdier than the early flues, but run a tad heavier...

do agree that 16 ga foxes and smiths are hard to beat...but then take a look at this, my new flame...
