an, pls do not shoot smokeless powder loads in this old six pound, 12 bore, twist steel barrelled gon...

ah shutter to ponder how thin the barrel walls must be to get the overall weight of this gun down to six pounds only...

the risks of damage to you and that old gon aint worth it...

Vam, ed doesn't want a gun returned to him for ANYTHING. He is speaking as a seller, period. Read between the lines.


May God bless America and those who defend her.

Kutter, thanks for explaining all of that information. I have said this on here a few times and have experienced barrels that were not soldered the whole length by inserting a .001 feeler gage under the bottom rib in spots along the barrel. Another way I have found out about is by immersing the barrels during bluing and seeing bubbles along the length in various spots. These barrels all rang. So far I have never had a gun that had a dull thunk to it.
