16gaDavis,

AC,
Good move on your part sending the gun to Briley for repair, my 20 Gauge #2 L.C. Smith was fully sleeved for 28 gauge by them long ago and still works perfectly today.

Gentlemen,
Looks like Swampy 16 and I were raised in the same manner, breech open, Hammers cocked, when the dog goes on point, I simply close the Breech work and fire the gun.

Welcome to the 16 forum, glad you finally made it in. Nice old 16 gauge L.C. Smith you own. You might consider using light 2 1/2" shells in her to safe guard the old stock.

A man should hunt Grouse with a fine double gun that is for sure, unless he does not have the means to purchase one. Lots of guys Grouse hunt with pump guns and eventually purchase a f ... |
