Standard weight 16 or "sweet 16"?

PM me the serial # (or all but last 3 #s), and I’ll look up just how ‘early’ it is. ‘Early’ generally means Pre-WWII and 2-9/16” chambers, no speed feed, mag cutoff, and trigger guard safety….pre WW I is not as common.

Well, if it’s a ‘early’ gun with typical issues and a 2-9/16” chamber, that’s just in the average deal realm, give or take.

It is a 1947 I think 2 3/4 inch chamber no speedfeed, has a magazine cutoff, and has the safety in the trigger guard. X series of serial numbers so it was before there was a name difference between the sweet and standard sixteen. It does not have the lightening holes in the barrel so it is a standard weight. Barrel,receiver, and screw serial numbers all match.

Well, if it’s a ‘early’ gun with typical issues and a 2-9/16” chamber, that’s just in the average deal realm, give or take. I’ll apologize for that….thought I had deleted it. Wasn’t trying to slight the gun, and decided it likely sounded that way. Turns out, it’s not an early gun or 2-9/16, anyway. For a post WWII/pre 53.5 standard weight in decent shape, it actually was a good deal. Those can be converted to speedload, if desired. If the year came from Browning’s info, I’d still say it could be a 47-50 gun. Shirley’s records are more reliable/exact than Browning Utah. Those actually make the better dove gun vs a Sweet… the extra weight helps there.
