A Dr. friend of mine had a custom 16 built with 3" chambers. His plan is to load solid brass hulls for pheasant. Italian made, either Sabatti or Siace -can't remember - what a beauty!I'm looking at 16 ga SxS's. Thought I had one, but it fell through. He has two more that I plan on looking at, other wise I know where a couple L.C. Smith 12's are reasonable.
You don't feel too good when looking down them from the other end. To me, a side-by-side shotgun is one of the most intimidating looking guns there is.There's just something makes me feel good when looking down those two barrels.
I sure do like the looks of those. Glad to hear your happy and hope you get a lot of good use from it.I recently bought a CZ (made by Huglu in Turkey) Hammer Classic. Exposed hammers, double triggers, 30" barrels with screw-in chokes. Turkish walnut stocks
Beautiful guns. Almost too pretty to take outside. AlmostI really like S&S's and hunt with them... Here's my old Remington that I use to hunt with a LOT,
The Remington is a 12ga... The other two are both 16ga, one drilling 8x57jrs and the other, the hammer drilling it 9.3x72R...Mighty nice pest control gun, DM. Is that a 12 or 16? And seeing as how its a drilling, what's the rifle caliber? Whatever it is, its mighty pretty.

If yours is like mine, the barrel walls are THICK and should be enough for the installation of thin wall chokes. That said, the cost of that will most likely be more than the gun is worth so only you can determine if it is worth that expense.I have a Fox Model B I bought in '81 and it was my hunting gun until CA outlawed lead shot so now, sadly, she's retired
I heard the issue with these was the soldering that holds the barrels would shoot loose with steel.If yours is like mine, the barrel walls are THICK and should be enough for the installation of thin wall chokes.
