PostForum: 16ga. General Discussion   Posted: Thu Dec 06, 2018 4:33 am   Subject: Any pheasant hunters from east central Iowa?
I was there in early Nov, but did most of my hunting elsewhere on that trip. I lived in that part of Iowa for a few years, back when we shot pheasants in self defense! But that was long ago. Much o ...

I've been away from this BB for awhile. Came back to delete an old post about a gun I had for sale and found this topic. Here's my take:

My old "Buxton's Guide to Foreign Firearms" shows that the Silver Hawk listed for $167.75 with double triggers and $179.75 with a ST in 1963. Basically a 409 tweaked for the American market ...

Much speculation here. Good to remember that CSMC was producing doubles (the CSMC Fox and the Model 21) before they began making RBL's. And on RBL's, my earlier date was off. Production began in 20 ...

West German or East German Sauer? West German will have Made in West Germany (I think), and also Eckernforde (sp?), which is where the Sauer plant was located.

When I was field testing one of the new Sweet 16's, it cycled perfectly with Herter's 1 oz. Did not cycle reliably with either 3/4 or 7/8 oz RST's.

Back when you could get plated and buffered loads, and the plating was done the right way--not just washed on--copper/nickel was worth it. That being said, I "field tested" some RST 1 oz 16 ...

SKB machinery to CSMC, being used in the production of RBL's? That theory runs into a chronology bump in the road. Production of the RBL--which certainly has a strong SKB "heritage"--began ...
