What's it realistically worth? I can buy one,but If I do, I can't really shoot it. Or can I?

1500? If unfired I'd keep it as a collector. My $.02

There is one on gun broker for $4k right now

Depends, is it a round knob, vent rib, Belgium or Jap gun, that all makes a difference

That is what they are asking? That's my point, what would somebody really give for it?

Well, mine shoots really sweet. No pun intended. I say what's the point in owning something you can't use.

I have owned a battered one before,and I know how sweet they shoot. That's the damn problem.

I don't know the worth, but if I bought that, I wouldn't even consider shooting it. you can't shoot steel shot through it and the first pull of the trigger drops the value a good bit.

Buy that one and then buy the new one and shoot the new one. Problem solved

Could you elaborate? A dullard like myself,needs the input of others. Or maybe you are just appreciating my conundrum?

verify the complete SN to confirm: what year it was made, where it was made (Japan, Ogden UT, Belgium), superlight or standard weight, High Grade, etc..... barrel will either have no rib, solid rib, or vented rib
SN will have
- no prefix
- A, X, R, S, T, or 2-digit year prefix
the SN may look like this : 68S19595
the first A5 16ga. was released in 1909, and the first Sweet 16 in 1936 on a limited run

It's a very basic sweet 16,made in Belgium,exactly like like I have had before,except it's brand new,and perfect.

My pawpaw had a 1957 Browning light 12 and he shot many a ducks with steel shot. He passes it down to me, and I used it for a few years to shoot ducks.
Are you supposed to shoot steel through it? I don't know, but that gun has had a lot of steel go through it, and is no worse for the wear.

I have nothing to add, I made my guess. Good luck. There's not a finer shotgun that's for damn sure.
Just for clarity, the seller is asking 2250?

The general rule of thumb is mod choke or more open, and smaller shot size. I've shot no. 4 through my dad's old gun without issue.

I have 6 Belgium Browning Sweet 16. They just keep going up in value.
Posted on 8/24/17 at 10:40 pm to White Bear
He's asking $2,500,but I am assured That $2,200 will get it. For me.

I would definitely buy it and never shoot it. I would also verify SN and date to confirm exactly what he is selling. There is a HUGE difference in value between an unfired NIB 1937 Sweet16 vs. a 1976 model. Like $25,000+ vs. $2500.
