I realize it's not 16ga and I hope you'll forgive me... I've just listed a 20 gauge Franchi 48 AL Hunter with 2 barrels for sale, no reserve. Perhaps someone here is interested in a nice light gun.

I recall finding some of those last fall and wondering if they would work for an old gun that wants low pressure...the answer was NO. Don't recall the specs, but pressure was at or close to max.

Sims LimbSaver pads are very good. They make a low-profile version only 5/8" thick and it does a great job. These are grind-to-fit so if you don't DIY then you'd give it to a gunsmith...
