Technically I had the 20 gauge barrels on it yesterday but I have a set of the 16 ga. This is one of the Parker repro's from the 80's. The 16 ga barrels were made after by Kreigoff by a gent in PA who contracted out for (IIRC) 500 sets. I was going to use them yesterday but I have more 20 ga than 16 ga shells.

Man some beautiful 16s here!! Have a Remington 31 deluxe and an 11-48 along with a Fox sterlingworth - nothing special but they have accounted for a ton of game over the years!
Dan that’s a nice Merkel (?) - looks like it’d handle like a dream!

The Repo 16 barrels were made by Krieghoff, at the request of Tom Skeuse. He owned Reagent Chemical and White Flyer Clay targets and was the man behind the Parker Reproductions. A flood at Reagent Chemical ruined many of the 16 gauge barrels, and relatively few ever made it into production. The barrels were fitted onto Parker Repro frames by Krieghoff at their facility in Ottsville, Pa. Although the article below says the barrels went to Krieghoff..Still, you rarely see a set for sale..
Another one...
Addition: CSMC made some 16 Gauge barrels for the reproduction. They had some fitting issues, and were not of the same quality as the Krieghoff barrels..
I've posted this previously....Your Parker Reproduction and 16 Gauge Krieghoff barrel story....
Couple more I picked up a couple months ago. First off is a1939 unmarked Sweet with kind a rare barrel. What makes is rare is the vent rib and the 5 holes drilled in the barrel ring.
Second is one I’ve been after for awhile. I’ve always wanted a straight stocked Auto 5. The stock has been shortened but had an interesting spacer to get the correct LOP. The spacer is made of horn. The forearm is interesting too. I will be replacing it with an extra forearm I have.
I just bought this 1935 M12 16 with a poly choke off of a campfire member. The action locks up tight. the loss of bluing on the receiver is common for the nickel steel guns.
