Eastfield Model 916 12ga?

[cpileri]

This was made by S&W (*&*) according to the barrel. Is it one of the "Montgomry Ward" copies?
Is it a decent shotgun?
What is a decent price range?
Thx,C-

Cpileri, Eastfield was a trade name used by Smith & Wesson on their shotguns. These were probably actually manufactured by Howa in Japan.

Any ideas on the year? I hear Howa quality varies depending on the year of make.

I show the 916 as being manufactured by S&W in Springfield Mas. Discontinued in 1972. The Model 1000 and 3000 series were by Howa.

Sam, learnin

I've seen them from time to time at our local gunshop. They usually sell for $250-300. Quality is OK, nothing special though.
