That 16 is beautiful!

As a young man, one of my primary inluences on hunting was my Uncle Harry. He used one of those for bird and rabbitt hunting.

Incredible to find one that well preserved.

 

I see many more Benellis in your future as well ;)

Very nice Browning. My father in-law (passed away in '89) has a 12 gauge. I should go and check it out and take some pictures for the Browning guys over at Shotgun World. I don't think it's anything fancy though as I believe it saw a lot of use in it's day.

Heres an all original 1965 A5 20 ga I got this yr at a gunshow of all places. It was an honest, unfired 100% A-5 w/a buck barrel and a vent rib IC as well in an Hartmann case. I couldn't believe it when I saw it. I knew it spelled trouble for my wallet when I saw it. Now if I could just find that eusive 1961 sweet 16 and light 20 I'd be set for a while.

I do most of my bird hunting with a 1962 Belgian-made Sweet 16 with a vent rib barrel. My Grandpa bought it new at a USMC PX as he was retiring out of the Corps. He used it for over 30 years and then gave it to me. Great shootin' gun with lots of memories behind it. I make sure I hunt with it at least once a year.
