I have a shotgun that I can not figure anything out about. The only thing it says is MADE IN SPAIN "VOLUNTEER" FOR BLUMENFELD CO. When you break it over it is stamped MUNDIAL AND THE S/N IS 129837. It also has several other stamps. I am trying to figure those stamps out right now. It is a 16 gauge chambered in 3".

  i hunt ducks and sometimes geese, i use a 12 ga ithaca 37 pump with a 3" chamber. i use remington hevi-shot. works well for me. i personaly wont use a 16 because of limited over-the-counter loads. try to shoot a couple of different brands before you decide on one. good luck!

  I have an mossberg 835 2-3/2in., 3in, and 3-1/2in. chamber it works exelent for water fowl i hade no problems what so ever. My freind has a Benelli Nova and he had the gun for about 1 year and had no problems and i hade my mossberg for 2 years so take my advice and just try them or look around and get diffrent opinions on those 2 guns.[:)]

  Don't know much about the 16 Ga. But I have a Remington 1187 3" as well as a Benelli Nova. The Nova is REALLY easy and QUICK to take apart for cleaning. It really depends on your price range, Pump or Auto, and Wood - Synthetic.

  By bird hunting do you mean ducks and geese or upland birds. For the upland birds a 20 is quite sufficent and no need to 'upgrade'. Of course any excuse for another gun is better than none.

  Browning Gold, Beretta 391, Remington 1187 are quality shotguns. They are chambered for 3 in. shells. The Remington 1100 is also good if you only need to shoot 2 3/4 in. A 26 in. barrell would be a good choice for upland bird hunting. These are all auto loaders. Depending on what you want to spend you could also consider an over/under. Many makes and varieties.

  Plan 'A' would be buy another Winchester in 12 ga, if you're happy with the one you have. Plan 'B' would be a Remington 870 in 12 Ga.
  16 gauge ammo is too hard to come by these days.
