Best Answer

Be sure your gun was made in 1926. Only lightweight 16 guages are called "sweet sixteens". Sweets did not come out until 1937 and Browning never made a 16ga magnum. Likely you have a standard weight Browning 16 guage. Your gun should be marked on the barrel OGDEN Utah if it was made in 1926. The chamber is 16ga 2 9/16. If you have a Sweet 16, the easiest way to check is the barrel ring. Take the forearm off and look at the ring that is welded to the barrel. If it has three holes drilled through, then it is a sweet 16 barrel. This doesnt mean the gun is a sweet. too hard to explain how to tell on the receiver. Scroll marking "sweet sixteen"on the legend began in 1948 /49 auto5man
