I did own one once. It was a plain non-ejector model with 2 3/4" chambers and 32" tightly choked barrels. Empire guns were plain with a lot of parts being machine made. The model was first patented in 1910. Over 17,000 were made between then and 1965. Some had 3" chambers and some were ejector models. Good solid guns that were mainly made for export. Somewhere, just had a lok and can't find it at the moment, I have an original advertisement leaflet for one. Lagopus.....
