I am curious about experiences with Darne type shotguns, as I am looking at buying one in 16-gauge.

Thank you,

Dave

Is it a side leveler?

Whoa! Haven't had a Darne brought up in years.

From the contemporary articles I remember on them from the '60's, they are a quality gun. They have a unique sliding breech, as I recall, and are very light weight.

I have no idea what a fair price for one is, but if I had one offered to me a a "reasonable" price, I would surely want to give it a try.
