That specific gun is interesting.. it's a well used SR that's been d&t, but it has an intriguing "16 Co" brand/stamp on the side panel. Gray rat that shoots 1" groups easily. Gotta love it. So now I know a bit more in that it was originally shipped to Kansas City, which was the home of Townley Hardware - but that's all. It's very possible it was a ranch gun (the SR's catalogued name was Saddle Gun, after all), and the "16 Co" meant something to them.
