. If you measure the frames of a 20 and a 16 they are the same. The fireing pin holes are identical as well. I think that Browning uses two frame sizes on the Citori. I had a 20ga and a 410 Citori Skeet and the barrels would interchange. I did not fire them but the barrels fit and the forends also clicked into place.
I would not hesitate to put a 20ga. stock on a 16 as it should fit without much final fitting at all.
Regards, Gordon |

| You can't interchange barrel with 16 & 20 gauge. I have tryed. I also measurede the hight of the action. The 16 gauge is a little bit larger. |

Gordon , have you ever actually tried to put 16 gauge barrels on a 20 gauge frame ? I just did . Both were lightning models and although they are ever so similar in size , the 16 barrels were just a tad too big and the 20 gauge frame would not accept them . Maybe your measurements look the same but the 16 is larger by ever so slight or maybe my guns differ or maybe I'm not seeing this the right way . Maybe someone else here will chime in and measure their guns . If I'm wrong I stand corrected .

| I'm not saying the stocks would not fit with a little work . I don't know that for sure and I've never done it . |

The 16 ga Citori receiver/block has the same height as the 20/28/.410 frame. However, it is .050" wider across with a wider interior as well, so it will accept the .050" wider barrel block. The 16 ga butt stocks are also a bit wider across at the cheeks to accomodate the slightly wider frames. Hope this info helps.
On a related thread, I advise folks to never try and interchange Citori barrels and receivers. YOU CAN DAMAGE THEM. The barrel blocks are carefully fitted to a specific frame. The receiver and block are then marked with a specific serial number. Only the multiple gauge skeet and hunting qauge sets have more than one barrel fitted to a specific frame. |

A shooting friend of mine has a 20ga. 325 and I will try my barrels in his gun the next time we shoot. Would have been this weekend but rain is forecast.
