They work just fine ( I have one) Know that the 93 fits better cause the barrel steps are in the correct place. On the 1916 they must have set the bbl back some to rechamber?? Anyway the steps in the bbl don't line up w/ the steps in the channel. BTW in a synthetic stock and "developed" jkt bullet loads mine kicks like a barnyard mule, W/ cast bullets and "normal" pressures it shoots great and is much kinder to me. Marty (Wuss?)
