I really like how the they did the top of the barrel on that vintage/model! Very nice shotgun! Remington went 20 years without making a 16ga. I believe from 1980 to 2000 no 16 gauges where made in either the 870 or 1100.
Yeah that's a nice addition. I've got a 12 like it too. Sounds about right on the 16s I know all mine in 870 and 1100 are older pre 80 guns
