Would anyone like a 16g with choke tubes?
« on: February 25, 2007, 06:25:48 AM »
I'd love to have a TDC in 16ga. I think it would sell like hot cakes if they made one. Post up if you'd like to see it happen. Who knows some one at H&R/NEF might be listening.

I'd much rather be remembered for being a great shot than having the most expensive gun

Now that would really be a "Do it All" shotgun.  Hmmm, sounds like you may be tossin' a project around in your head. ;D  If they offered one I would probably have one.  Would really be neet to have one in 22".

Hi Markus and Rich, we just got in from church, stopped for a bite to eat and a little food shopping on the way home. YES, I would want and would buy a 16 gauge H&R with screw in choke tubes, I would think a 24" barrel with tubes would be just about right but I could also go with a 26" barrel....<><.... ;D

How about a TDC 28 with fixed IC choke.

I must say I just did pick up a real nice 28 gauge barrel with a fixed modified choke while I was in Maine, and what was even better is I bought it with my my wifes loving approval. I also got a 2004 Topper with a nickeled reciever in 20 gauge (fixed modified). I am planning to reconfigure the stock on the nickeled Topper to a straight english style at the same time I redo another for a member here and then refinish the stock to a nice classic english walnut with a matte Tung Oil finish. I am not a fan of the Weatherby style gloss finishes. I will  fit the 28 gauge barrel to the nickel reciever with the redone walnut stained straight stock and will have a great light classic upland gun for partridge and such to go along with my more traditional 16 gauge NEF. Don't you just love these guns!!...<><.... :)

I'm thinking about ordering a 16ga pardner and then sending the barrel off to get it cut to 26" and having choke tubes installed. I found an outfit in Nebraska that will do it for $125.
I wasn't impressed with the 20ga TDC that I got. It weighed more than my Ruger Red Label 20. I was wanting a lighter gun for some of the treks that Gunner and I take. I'm hoping that the 16ga will end up at less than 6lbs  ???.

I would buy one tomorrow, the 16 is my favorite shotgun gauge.  I guess it comes from growing up in an area where most all of the old timers used 16s.  I had an NEF 16 for a while, it didn't shoot very good but that was before I learned all the tricks from this site, now that I am about finished with my turkey/predator shotgun, I will probably buy another 16 but it sure would be nice to have screw in chokes, walnut stock and vent rib

Since all the NEF/H&R shotguns use the same frame and the first third or so of the barrels from the chamber end out to the end of the forend are the same outside diameter I would not count on a 16ga being any lighter than a 20ga. It may even be slightly heavier.

Revised, Oops, sorry after rereading your post I see you were talking about a 16ga. Pardner barrel. Without the vent-rib it probably would be a little lighter than the 20ga. TDC.

p.s.; If you want to sell that 20ga. TDC of yours I'ld be interested if the asking price were reasonable.

Sorry Brett, MSP got the stock and forend and I gave the rest to a friend. When I originally ordered the TDC 20 they were advertised with a 26" barrel, what I got was a 28" barrel that was big enough to be a 12ga, but only drilled to 20... that was a chunk of steel with a plastic rib glued to it.
I've looked at quite a few Pardners, they don't seem to be quite so proud of their steel...
