Late 1950s Sweet 16

[A5 Sweet 16]

Keep them sort of clean. Use plenty of oil on the magazine tube. Set the friction rings right. As long as there are no broken parts, & the shells are halfway decent, an Auto 5 will not fail. Such a beautiful design.

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.

Amount of oil on the tube was one of the old mans tricks. When I used one for trap shooting, he would wipe some of the oil off. That way I didn't pelt the guy on my right side.

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.
