Was there ever a decent 16 gauge gas auto made that wasn't on a 12 gauge frame?
The only one I know of is the Winchester 1400, but I understand its quality was/is marginal.

Not sure, not gas, but how about the Rem. 48 or 11/48 ?

Being a Winchester guy...I hate to say this...the 1400 and 140 are not up to the quality....it kills me to say this....an 11-48 Remington.....but the 11-48 is recoil opporated...it is still a better gun than the 1400/140.....So being a Winchester guy....get a model 12 and learn to work a pump....

There's the Sweet 16, but it's not gas. And even Sweeties are not all that light. Other than the plain barrel guns, pretty unusual to find one that weighs much under 7#.

Remington made the 1100 in 16, but I think that was on a 12 gauge frame. They did make the early 870 in a scaled frame. The reintroduced ones where on a 12 gauge frame. I don't think your going to find a true gas scaled frame 16.

A recoil operated gun like the 11-48 might be the best option.
Does anyone know what the 16 gauge plain barreled guns usually weigh?

My 870 from 1952 is built on a 12 gauge frame, last pump Rem. built on a 16 frame was the 31.

The lightest of the two Sweeties I had was just under 7. Plain barrel, 28".

The Model 1400, 16 gauge(or the 20 ga. for that matter), is not on a scaled frame.
