If you reload, there's no such thing as an obsolete cartridge.

This is the first & only 16 Gauge I have, just got it a few days ago after looking for one for many years (really wanted a 20 or a 12) - Kessler 16 gauge At least it appears 16 Gauge ammunition is more available then it used to be. ADDED in response to the next post by Mike so as not to add another post - Mike, I found some information about these several years ago that said Numrich had enough part that they sold kit's for the 16 Gauges, don't know about the 20's or 12's.

One of these was recently mentioned in a post on www.leverguns.com I haven't seen one in the flesh for years! Interesting design; probably a little faster on the follow-up shots than a bolt shotgun. I SUSPECT that most of them were bought by guys who were in "shotgun only for deer" states, but have no way of knowing that. Last one I saw was on the used gun rack at Numrich's in West Hurley, NY. Must have been about 1992. They had parts for them for a long time and I always wondered if that 20 had been assembled by Numrich staff from parts. They did a lot of that "in their spare time." Produced some "rare" guns that way, too. But really cheap "rare guns"!

Photobucket really sucks. I looked back at this thread to find very few pictures survived the debacle. Here is my Webley 12 bore and a gaggle of pheasants...

Not hardly a graded AH Fox or Parker seen. Guess I will have to show up with my 1916 BE or the slightly later AH Fox HE Super Fox 3 in magnum. The HE was the first to be chambered in the 20s for the then-new Super-X 3 in shells. Bert Becker and Fox got the first box and "BoWhoop" of Nash Buckingham did the rest. Last Eastern wild turkey killed with a 3in Long Range LC Smith-1920s gun, of course.

An unemployed Jester, is nobody's Fool.
the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.

Thread needs an awakening. Now, house rule here is i can have multiple mud shotguns, but only one huntable pretty (per guage - let’s not be silly). This 12 is fixin’ to hunt come fall. Merkel 12ga, 2 3/4”, 28”, IC/M. 1939 date stamp, August iirc, just before war broke out.
