Yes, all the new H&R/NEF 16 gauge barrels are full choke. They used to make modified choke 16's but have not produced them for a while. A good gunsmith can open the choke up to whatever you want, and while it's at the gunsmith's perhaps have it backbored also. I am leaning twoards a modified or perhaps improved cylinder for my newly aquired but slightly used 16 gauge barrel I recently got from another member here, but I will shoot it a bit first....<><.... :)

Ther has always been a 16ga from NEF as long as I can recall. The old guy I hunted with as a kid had a 16ga that belonged to his father since the earl 1900 or possibly before.

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

Buckweet,
 tyry a shoppe in middlefield CT, New England Stream & Field.

I am pretty sure they had a Win 37 in 16ga. ...Have't been in there for a spell so I am unsure if its still there, but its worth a call!!

The gun I use most for squirrel hubting is my NEF 16 ga. full choke.  The two time in the woods with the 16 ga I have limted out on squirrel.  I have also used the gun for late season Dove and crow hunting.  Ask me the 16 ga is a very good gauge.  Will it replace the 12 ga No but its got its niche.  I've even got some hand loads I want to try out on turkey.
