Who sells 16g 2 1/2 shells?

[jesse977]

Been looking for these shells for a while. Nobody has them. I found them online but shipping was like $30. Anyone have some for sale or know where I can buy some? I have looked all over..... gun shows, Turners, big 5, walmart and no luck.

Hell, I never saw 16ga anywhere before the shortage. Good luck now

Edit: Just reread your post....You will be hard pressed to find 2 9/16" 16ga anywhere at the usual places....its a rare animal. Save the gas....they are not on the shelves and only available through specialty stores like the ones you found on line

Unless this is a real cheap gun or an heirloom consider enlarging the breech to 2-3/4. Most competent gunsmiths should be able to do this at a reasonable cost.
Alternatively start reloading. Buy some 2-3/4 hulls, cut them down to 2-1/2 and reload - you may have to roll crimp.

There is a guy at the santa barbara gun club selling 16ga 2 1/2 shells with 1oz of #6 shot (possibly copper shot? the ad is a bit unclear)
$15 a box

They make shells for classic guns like yours.
