I'd love to have a gun like that - what a great moose/bear rifle! The 16 bore, with it's full choked left barrel is a bit tight for grouse. I expect I'll be honing it out a bit to even up and improve patterns for flushing birds. The tubes are a bit long as a general carry gun, but I can put up with that. Next fall when my buddy picks me up for moose hunting, I should be packing that 16!

Plastic for birds, brass for moose.

Andreas, I agree about the paradox but at the time, there were problaby heavy patent law agreements in place. How did it shoot? I've a feeling that shot loads in the straight rifled bore would be quite even, but wide, of course. I don't think it would shoot donuts like a smooth cylinder likes to do. The rifling might hold the wads back like a choke does due to the extra friction - just a guess. Of course, I've now got to wait for the 14 bore wads from Trackofthewolf - NP. It shoots fairly well with undersized fibre wads, butt that base wad must be at least groove diameter to prevent blow-by. I don't have many left. The ones I do have came from some very old plastic 12 bore slug loads I broke down. Interesting they are so small, coming from 12 bore cases.
