Hey guys,
local auction has a 97 16ga I might bid on. An 188140. Looks like a 30” barrel. It’s seems to be about the same condition as my 12 gauge. It has 10 days before auction close. I think if it stays cheap I might bid. From what I remember I believe I’ll have to load 2.5” shells if I want to shoot it though. Any thoughts advice are welcome
thanks

It should have a 28-inch barrel. Do you know if it has a FULL, MOD, or CYL choked barrel?
I can see it has the typical cracked slide handle stock (a sizeable value demerit), and that it is very little original bluing left on the steel. It is chambered for 2-9/16″ shells.
Based on the condition of the gun, the top bid for it should be no more than $275.

Not sure on the choke. The barrel at least doesn’t seem to be cut down at all. I don’t think I’d bid more than $100 on it. Might be purchasing some other stuff in the auction. So I thought why not.
thanks
