Home Forums Reloading 16 Gauge Society Nitro Reliable 16ga RB&C

I happened across this old shotgun today here local. Needless to say, it followed me to the house. I cant find much info on the interweb about them. If nothing else I enjoy looking at it. Tell me what you know..

I have owned a couple of Nitro Hunters in the past
I think if my memory serves me … They where built in KY ?

Sounds correct on the Nitro Hunters, pretty sure that’s what I read. From what I’ve found so far on the Reliable, the Robinson Bros was a family of hardware store owners in the Boston area. I’m assuming this one of those deals where a major manufacturer builds the firearm, and puts the name of the store/business owners choosing on the gun.
