I purchased an old Cresent Arms 16-gauge SXS hammer gun in about '85. I used it for many years on rabbits and squirrels. This "Cheepo" shotgun performed great! When I would tell someone I had a 16 they would have a story about some old 16 in their past and a lot of time the conversation would end with, "Hey I have some old shells left, you want them?". I picked up another German made one after that and I used them for many years FREE, I still have them along with some freebie shells!...LK
