Hey Billy,

Don't worry. I no longer have those guns. As I said the 16 just ain't my cuppa tea. Sold them long ago. I WAS in the business ya know? I have had quite a few European SxS guns and most have had sling swivels on 'em. In fact I just sold a nice little 16 ga O/U that had sling swivels on it. It was an early Valmet and handled really nice. The only European guns I own now are a Bavaria Grade Krieghoff K-80 and a Standard K-80 both with small gauge tubes and a Pre war Oberndorf Mauser sporter with Zeiss scope in clawmounts. Beautiful rifle but in a weird caliber as many were. Never shot it although I have ammo and loading supplies. Haven't really paid much attention lately but I think it is in 8X53 cal or 8X51.. Have to go look at the dies...Mannlicher stock with horn tip, grip cap and butt plate. Only paid 450 bucks for that little gem. quite a few years ago now.
