16 ga.Sneeked up on me!

[W.Va.Glassman]

Thought I was buying another Rem.1100 12ga.loked closer it"s a 16.For 115.00 it's a keeper.Who ever had this gun before must have never took it apart looks good on outside,inside dirt,gummy oil and seeds.It cleaned up good,I'll take it out this week and shoot it.

Man, some of you guys are making me feel REALLY inferior

I can't touch an 1100 or an 870 in tomato stake condition for less than 250 dollars.

That sure sounds like a great buy, get the loader out and get going on that thing!!

 

[Dave McCracken]

Good luck with that 16. Before shooting, I'd replace the big spring in the stock, and O rings etc. Any 1100 with this kind of neglect needs those.

Enjoy...

Dave; test fired the gun today,operates good.Shot it 12 times had 3 different loads no problems.

 

[Dave McCracken]

Great,glad to hear it. 12 shots isn't a comprehensive test, but it's a good indicator. a few rounds of your clay sport of choice is called for ASAP(G)...

Do you load for 16 gauge yet?

 

[W.Va.Glassman]

Dave:I do not load for the 16.This is the fourth 16 I'v bought in last 3 years,I load 12 & 20.I'v been thinking about lading for it.

 

[Dave McCracken]

A MEC 600 JR and a few components make sense. The load range for the 16 is a bit narrow.

I'd certainly use trap grade shot and moderate amounts of powder for 1150-1200 FPS loads.
