CSMC RBL 16 (29-inch barrels, single trigger)
Browning Citori Gran Lightning 16 O/U (28-inch barrels)
Vincenzo Bernardelli sxs 16 (double triggers, sling swivels, leather sling)
LC Smith Ideal Grade 16 (Featherweight frame, 28-inch barrels, single trigger)
Fox Sterlingworth Skeet and Upland Special 16 (28-inch barrels)

I like the modern guns for nontoxic shot, waterfowl hunting, wild bird hunting. I'm a little more careful with the vintage guns, which see action on the clays courses, the preserve hunts, and light duty wild bird hunts for doves and the like.

My inventory is currently in a state of flux. I won an auction for another L.C. Smith 16, but still haven't heard from the seller. I'm not doing anything with that until I hear from the fellow, just to be safe. Hopefully he is just on vacation and is okay.

I mostly use "vintage" guns for all of my hunting. A couple of my vintage guns even see steel shot use regularly. I have a few newer guns, but I use a few of the old 16's far more than anything else, especially with upland birds.

5 so far all in my signature, wouldn't mind a few more! I figure I'm "the next generation" keeping these old girls alive!

Need to add another 28-inch Fox, an SP-Grade with Fox-Kautzky Single Selective Trigger, and a 1941 vintage Winchester Model 21 Skeet Gun to my list.

I have 4 with the addition of the new A5 a couple weeks ago. My first was and still is my Auto 5 16, then when Browning made a run a 16' Citori's years a go I bought a Lightning Feather with 26 " barrels. who knew they would be making more. When I found the Lightning feather was a little too light for me to shoot well I promised my wife that I would sell it to get the Grade III 28" Citori I own now and lately have been shooting more. Somehow I never sold the other! Anyway that's what I have now.

Making sure that what’s in my safe is what I really want. Now I’m on the hunt for more of those.....keepers!


2 16 gauges! Can't believe I let it get that low. So I bought another one today. Won't have it in hand for another week or so but it's a Husqvarna 310 16 gauge with 29 1/2" barrels. Working on some others.
