This is a high grade, guaranteed repeating shotgun 
which weighs but 6 ! 4 pounds, and yet is as effective 
as most 12 gauge guns which weigh 1V 2 and 8 pounds. 
The 772 ar/i/i 16 gauge 
repeating- shotgun is an 
exact copy of the 772 ar/u z 
Model 19 12 -gauge and 
contains all the features 
which have made 272 ar/e/i shotguns famous. 
The solid top, side ej’ection, automatic recoil safety 
lock and closed-in action are present in Model 16 ; 
each part refined a little to meet the lighter charges 
of powder used in a 16 gauge shotgun. 
Grade D has fine Damascus barrel and Grade 
C Model 16 fflar///z shotgun barrels are made of 
‘ ‘ Special Smokeless Steel ”; all 272 az£n barrels are 
bored to shoot both black and smokeless powders 
The working parts of Model 16 repeating shotgun 
are made of the finest quality of steel drop forgings, 
cut down from solid blocks to the nicely fitting 
parts of the finished shotgun. 
With one shell in the chamber and five in the 
magazine, Model 16 shotgun can be fired six times 
in four seconds. 
For grouse, quail, woodcock, prairie chickens, 
teal, woodchucks, squirrels, rabbits and all other 
smaller game this gun is unsurpassed. The upland 
shooter will readily see the advantage of a repeat¬ 
ing shotgun weighing a pound to two pounds lighter 
than the average 12 gauge and yet having all the 
effectiveness of the heavier arm. 
Send three stamps for catalog- which fully describes all the fflar/in guns.
