buyer beware After taking a chance on a Sweet 16 on Armslist, I will never send funds through the mail to a private owner on that site again. I mailed funds to a convicted felon. I called the police in his town of residence and they arrested him for gun involvement as a felon. He was just...

Got my eye on a sweet 16 with no rib. Would that be a mistake.

Bandit Sorry for your loss. Really tough thing to go through. I think about that day sometimes with my dog. I'm backing up all my videos and every picture that I have with my dog in and hope to make a video/slideshow of her when that time comes. I'd like to keep her memory alive as long as I...

16 gauge Ya, I think the 16 gauge thing can become a little bit of a sickness. Once I started reading about them and looking for the Citori, my obsession continued and of course I got interested in the Sweet 16. I better keep the Benelli though. I shoot it pretty average, and I turkey hunt, so...

I've been looking at Sweet 16s on different sites. Can you shoot steel out of a newer one made in Japan? If they ever outlawed lead, would a Belgium made A5 be difficult to find shells for. Would you be forced to buy non-tox alloy shells at $30 a box if the law changed. If I find one, I want to...

Chokes in ou I planned on IC in the bottom and Mod. on the top with fiocchi number 5s or 6s. I put an IC choke in my M2 last season and actually started dropping some birds. I had been using a IM and I might as well have been using a nerf gun. The IC really made a difference. OU is new to me...

Citori I was on the list to get one from Kones Korner this summer. Apparently they get them from Bill Hicks Guns in MPLS, and they had a shipment coming in July. Then this one showed up on Guncycle and I bought it. Now I'd love to find a sweet 16 and have it covered, but I better lay low for a...

After stressing about a new A5 or a new Citori 725 12ga. I'm picking up my new gun in the morning. Browning Citori White Lightning 16ga with oil finish and 28s. New in the box with the plastic on. Boy, am I pumped! Thanks for all the advice I got from this forum. $1750, but I don't care right...

Toughest shot The one where the bird is in the air. Not quite that bad. Straight away and elevating rapidly. Might as well just wave at em'.

Table scraps, bones from local butcher, occasional cookie or ice cream sandwich, and small amount of taste of the wild grain free dog food.

Congrats Sounds like Tavy had a good life and left quickly. Never easy though. Cool looking new dog. I always liked the liver and white combination for some reason. Same exact colors as my dog. Sounds like you feel really good about your choice and things worked out well. Good for you. After I...

Sorry Geez, I couldn't imaging losing my dog, especially at that age. Was that a condition that was diagnosed earlier and ran it's course, or did it come at a complete surprise? When you hunt behind them they seem like such machines; invincible, professional athletes, just a pleasure to behold...

White Lightning I'm gonna hold out for the White Lightning and get the one I want. If the deal falls through I'll have to go with the 725, but I think I got a line on the gun I want. I will go with 28in though, no matter which one I end up with.

General Any purchase over $200 requires green light clearance from Iraqi Headquarters.

I was in the process of writing the check for a new A-5 and just couldn't do it. I already have a Benelli M2, and the new A-5 has almost the same action, and do I really need two autoloaders? What I really want is a Citori White Lightning 16 gauge OU. Can anyone tell me the difference between...
