Yes, Crescent Firearms did produce 16-gauge shotguns, particularly during the early to mid-20th century. These shotguns were often part of their popular line of double-barrel and single-shot models. While they may not be as common today, collectors and enthusiasts may still find Crescent 16-gauge shotguns in the market.

Yfes, the company has reorganized after bankruptcy a few years ago, is now in Ohio. They manufacture a first-class Model37 pump in several configurations, in 20 and 12 gauge. The shotguns are all American-made, with fine machine work and very good quality. Worth a look.

Parts for an American Gun Company shotgun will only be found as part of another shotgun. Haunt the local gunshows for one that is being parted-out. As for the gauge (not caliber), did you mean "bigger than a 410"? There have been 24, 28, and 32 gauge shotguns made. Of these, only the 28 is still available in the US, but I believe 32 gauge shells may still be commercially loaded in Europe.
