Thread: A pair of Sweet Sixteen

If they still work I'd clean and keep them just like they are!!
SWEET shotguns...don't ever let them go.

Like Kdavid said, if they are shooting give a good cleaning and hunt. Don Fancher over at Bruce is one of very few gunsmiths still around that really know those guns good. Fine shooting gun, have a model 58 Remington in 16 and love it.

Leave them just like they are

I was not planning to do anything to the exterior, but one of them has a friction ring that is so worn that it is paper thin, both springs are sprung. Just wanting a tune up on the inner workings.

Beautiful guns

You can't beat the patina in my book. It shows where they have been and who has had their hands on them.
fix them and use them and love them.
