I am taking my JC Higgins - model 583.18 in 16 Gauge Bolt-Action out on Monday for the New Jersey Spring Opener. Shoots really good!! Barrel is marked -Full and weighes about 6 Pounds. I found some OLD 16 Gauge copper plated ammo. American Eagle brand. Over 20 years old. They shoot great. I painted this shotgun green and had to fabricate a trigger guard for it. Probably just load one shell.  It does not look like much-- but powders those clay pigeons!

That's a pretty neat shotgun. You don't see many 16 gauge guns being used anymore. I've got an old 16 myself.
Listen for the gobble

The bolt action JC Higgins was the first shotgun I ever bought. Killed several rabbits and squirrels with it but never took it turkey hunting. Them 16 guages will do alright on a turkeys noggin. Call Winchester up and tell them to make a special run of 16 guage Longbeard XR's!!

Had a few 16's over the years. Just never held onto them. Ammo was hard to find here so they found new homes. Good luck with yours tho.
