SHOTGUN: o/u or pump?

Those wondering about the popularity of the 16 gauge popularity in the US should check out the website SixteenGaugeSociety.Com It will show that the 16 is not only surviving but thriving.

Thank you so much for the suggestion , sir. I have just taken a quick glance at it. The 16 bore is a beautiful calibre for upland bird hunting . It appears to be enjoying a renaissance in America in recent years.

Major Khan,
The hammer single break pictured is a Hopkins & Allen. Not particularly expensive when made back around 1900 +/-. Mostly a utility gun I think for the average farmer or rural family in the US. I found this gun abandoned and leaning against a cottonwood stump in a slough area behind our farm when I was 9 years old. It was a little rusty but functional after a good cleaning. I learned shotgun wing shooting with it.

Since you started this thread eight and a half years ago and you probably now live in Tibet, I can only say I’ve never experienced any jams or stoppages with my two Remington 1100s (12&20ga), Remington 11-87 (12ga) and newest Remington V3 (12ga). ALL semi autos priced for a working man’s budget. But, even the attached article surprised me! They might even let you own one in Tibet?
As a side note, my father in law has a Benelli Super Black Eagle that he bought new for $1800 us, and he has had a couple jamming problems with it.
