Hi Gil, I guess I should elaborate"the rest of the story" as the title does say 12ga.waterfowl guns.This gun has undergone a pretty major transformation.The gun appears to have been made in the 1890's with this set of steel barrels. It has three sets of proof marks beginning with the first 12 ga.black powder marks and then being nitro re-proofed post 1925 with 3" 12 ga.marks and finally
being re-chambered and magnum proofed for 3 1/2" 10 ga. in 1962.
I believe it was first built as a chamberless 12 and originally over bored for thin brass cases.The bores measured .765 at 10 ga. proof and remain the same with min.wall thickness of .055. The gun weighs 9 lbs. 14 oz.Seriously heavy barrels.You don't have to worry about stopping your swing once you get them moving...
