I have a Tri Star 16 gauge over/under Trinity model. The barrel selector is combined with the safety. To switch barrels the switch must be in SAFE position. Then the switch can be moved to select bar ...

I have used Aguila cartridges on and off for the last two bird seasons. Notes: They are affordable here in Canada. They are made of what appears to be very good quality components. They burn clean. Th ...

I find them a very good cartridge. Clean burning and well put together with nice tight crimps. They work great in my short chambered Model 12 16 bore. Overall great for every thing with the exception ...

A Woolnerized Winchester Model 59 is as ugly as homemade sin.

In addition to removing the pistol grip and cutting down the barrel, he completely removed the forearm wood and replaced the bolt attac ...

26" sounds like it will work. I have the tooling and skills to do the work myself. If Ithaca made them in 26" plain barrels then that should work for me. Thanks for all the learned input it ...

Nearest smith is 700 miles away from me. The few that were local have retired or died. Like I said earlier there is no one who does 16 Gauge choke installs in Canada. I would like the gun to pattern a ...

All very sage advice. I don't reload for the 16 so barrel length is my only option for change. There are no spreader loads available at retail in Canada for the 16. I was considering cutting it to 26& ...

Gentlemen, I have a rough Model 37 in 16 bore. It runs well and it has a 28" super full choked factory barrel. I am going to shorten it for a grouse/ close in steel shot duck gun. Does anyone ha ...

Been eating them this way for about 50 years. Sear them over high heat in cast pan in oil. Turn down heat cook to medium. While cooking garnish with coarse salt and cracked black pepper. Serve on heat ...
