Late 1950s Sweet 16

My Dad also has a model 11 Remington. I’m the son of a certified gun nut that leans towards shotguns. He just brought home a beauty of a model 12 in 12.

My brother has an old Sweet 16 with blonde wood and a poly choke. I think he paid about $200 for it. Poly chokes reduced the value for resale but he never cared. It was his primary bird gun for years.
 
Most of the trade-in A-5s and 1100's I've seen in gun shops were there due to claims of jamming. While any semi-auto can jam under the right circumstances, 99% of those were due to having actions being coated with WD-40. WD-40 stands for Water Displacement, not lube for gun actions. Most of those guns when degreased completely, and then lightly lubed with a silicon based lube (Rem Oil), would work fine.
