Sorry. Can't seem to get pics to post in the threads. Here's my 1930 edition of an A-5. Sent it back to Browning years back to get the internals piqued and tweaked as well as conversion to 2 3/4" Also shown are some vintage 16 Ga shells that'll bring back memories for the old timers like me. Boxes have gotten a bit worn, but some have artwork that can still be appreciated, https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/galleries/15317024/16-gauge#Post15317024

Here is my Thieme & Schlegelmilch Nimrod drilling. Was made in 1940 and has a 6.5x57R rifle barrel under the 16 barrels. I had the chokes opened up and use it for shooting grouse and woodcock over my Drahthaar. I have also manged to take two fall turkeys with it over the last few years.

Can't seem to be able to post pics for some reason Recently picked up a Stevens 5100. Other than a poorly done recoil pad it is Good condition for a gun built in 1952. Will help keep my AYA out of the snow and rain.

I've got three. One's a '55 Ithica mod 37 that resembles Tinmans. Then a first year post war Sauer drilling in 16/16 over 8x57JRS and the only one I have a pic of is a first year A. Francotte Knockabout. Super cool gun with really open chokes and a dream to carry at less than 5 1/2#s.

My 16ga inventory consist of a paltry '50s vintage 870 ADL De Lux, and an Ithaca 37 solid rib. Both are 28" bbls and heavily choked.
For the past few months I've been keeping and eye open for a 16ga O/U. One of the Browning Lightnings would be nice, but pretty scarce and spendy when they do appear. Don't know that I'm too keen on any of the 'euro models' (CZ, Franchi, Stevens)
I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.

Dickenson Plantation model 16. As seen, splinter forend, English stock, double triggers, and ejectors. About 6 lbs 10 oz, a bit heavy for my tastes, but performs well.
