A fellow shooting friend of mine has ask me a few times, how many gun do you have anyway? My standard reply is, almost as many as you have, or I got a whole sack full of them.

As near as I can remember, I just have nine 16 ga's. All except two are single trigger SXS's with POW or open pistol grip and semi-beavertail forend.
2 CZ Ringnecks
CZ Bobwhite
BSA Classic by Zabala
Tri-Star Brittany by Zabala
Dickinson Estate
Uggie 257
Charles Daly Uggie boxlock
DeHaan O/U
I should probably get another to make it an even 10.
Oops, I do have 10, I forgot about my 1932 AH Fox Special. |

At one time I owned 19 16 gauge shotguns, now I am down to 16. It seems like an appropriate number |

Just one at the moment, my Husky mod. 100 hammer gun. I like shooting it so much, and it's so light, I don't see the point in getting another one. That said, I could see having a new Rizzini Iside with tubes just for clays. I have a bunch of 12's at the moment, a few of which I'll be selling soon to help pay for a house. |

From a high of 8 I’m down to 2.
But I’m down in my 12’s as well.
Making sure that what’s in my safe is what I really want. Now I’m on the hunt for more of those.....keepers! |
