I definitely understand the Mc vs. Mac, I am just trying to tie the two together in terms of them being from the same manufacturer. I think when you start getting into the early years maybe the information is a little sketchy. My biggest concern was that the gun could be a "knock off" of sorts. Or, maybe a family member that had split off and was manufacturing guns briefly under same name but slightly different. It was cheap enough that I took a chance on it and I think its going to work out great. The gun balances fantastic, the barrels are 28" with absolutely no choke - in fact the barrels are very thin at the muzzle, almost like someone went a little overboard opening up the choke. 12 ga snap caps fit perfectly so its a 12 ga for sure, chambers appear 2 1/2".
I have several early American SxS 12ga guns, they handle like small logs compared to the Scottish and the English SxS early hammer guns. Is this the experience of others?
