Question for you Sweet 16 aficionados. I know there are certain years that people like more than others. Found a 1948 model , choked cylinder, that looks to be in really good condition for a good price. That's about the perfect gun for what I do. Thinking about snapping it up, just looking for opinions on that particular run of guns. Thanks in advance

Mine's a 1947, original barrel is Mod and I traded into an extra Cyl choked barrel. I like the safety style of these better than behind-the-trigger versions, otherwise all are fine by me. Good luck with yours, whether this one or another.

Buy it...for the barrel alone!

Any Auto-5 is ALWAYS worth the purchase...

Thanks everyone. Probably going to buy it, just verifying with the seller that the serial numbers match and all is on the up and up.
