I have a lot of 16-gauge guns, but none are very light. Lightest is my SP-Grade, 28-inch barrel, A.H. Fox at 6 pounds, 6.2 ounces. |

Much rarer than the old 3-inch shells, the ammunition catalogs back in the day also offered 2 7/8-inch 12-, 16- and 20-gauge shells. I have seen 12-gauge --

Your "Sportsman" must have after-market wood, as the "Sportsman" always came with checkered wood.
