My Walmart is now selling 16 gauge ammo

I haven't been complaining about doing the grocery shopping now that our Walmart is selling Federal 16 gauge ammo. Love those purple shells.

Cool... I like a 16ga.

The wife and I were in two different Sam's clubs last week and both had a couple of pallets of Federal shotgun shells for $48 per case. The thought never occurred to look for any of it was 16ga.

As a kid I always held those shotguns referred to as "Sweet 16's"

My landlady had a Browning circa 1950’s “Sweet Sixteen” of her husbands.  Tried to get it appraised so I could buy it from them.

She gave it her nephew....

Durn relatives!!!

Like they said. You can pick your friends. You can pick your a$$. But you can't pick your relatives!

I've been looking at some RST non-toxic shot to have on hand for areas where you have to use it.
Kind of $$ but I would be shooting all that much of that stuff.

The hardest kicking gun I have is my dad's old 16 gauge Mossberg bolt action.  I dunno why...maybe because it's a straight stock or maybe because as a kid I was "concerned" about the kick.  It is a gun from a different time but I like it a lot and I like the 16 gauge...I'd kind of forgotten about it.

I have a 20 gauge coach gun and the obligatory 12's.  Now...hmmm, I have a quest for a 16 gauge just because of this post. 

The gun companies really should advertise here more....

I looked long and hard at buying the Browning Upland Special in 16 ga a few years back.  I was disappointed in the Asian build and fit and finish!

I may look again.  I don’t hunt much with my Wingmaster in 12 ga so maybe a change is in order.

I get what you're saying about fit and finish.  That's another good reason to buy a used gun.  I have just won a Gunbroker auction for a Rem 1100 in .410...I hope it's as nice as the pictures show.  I've only had one bad experience and that was from a pawn shop in Florida.  I was not able to provide the justifiable bad feedback because I waited to long to pick it up from the FFL being out-of-town and such.

Right now, I think the Remington 740's (742's...whatever) are the best value in the used gun market.  You can get a used one in pretty good shape for $300 and great shape for $350.  Now, there are a lot of them out there for a lot more but right now they are depressed in the market so you can get a "steal".  I just picked up one in 30-06 with a scope for $290 including shipping.  I'll need to post some pics when I get time.

I would say 98% of all guns (that aren't 22 plinkers) have not had more than 100 rounds or so through them....that's nothing.  It's all a matter of how they were handled and cared for.  In my book, used ain't used with a low round count weapon that's been well cared for.

Rastus, those Remington 1100's are great guns.
My uncle had one in 16ga and he let me keep it to hunt doves with from when I was 14 until I could afford my own shotgun (Ithaca 37). After I returned it to hi I don't think he shot it much because when he died in 2010, the 100 and several boxes of the shells I gave him when I returned it were all in his closet.
My aunt asked me if I wanted the gun along with the handful of others he owned. I said I'd rather go on and give it to my younger son who had great relationship with him (more like a grandfather than an uncle).
I kept the Baby Browning pistol, a Remington .22lr bolt action, and my favorite: an Ithaca 66 single shot .410 (first shotgun I ever shot, my uncle loaned it to me to hunt squirrels).
