The chokes are about perfect for anything I’d do with it. For some reason, I’m able to shoot a gun with 2 3/4” drop just fine off my right shoulder, which I could never do off my left shoulder. It looks to be in spectacular condition, but, I’d guess as a box lock ejector, it is priced about double what it is worth here in the US. I think that would be generous. If it was still in England, the family would be looking for about 1000£ for it, and would be thrilled to get 750£.
It would be nice to have an English gun that you could feed off-the-shelf ammunition to. I likely wouldn’t feed it a steady diet of 1 1/4 oz loads, but, hell, a guy could.
Best,

Ted--You're not the Lone Ranger on drop. I haven't swapped shoulders, but I'm now shooting more drop and a shorter LOP than I used to. Changes related to age, perhaps? I know that I've lost a couple inches in height, but I didn't think my arms were any shorter.
Getting back to the gun: Very nice piece. As a pre-1925 gun, chamber length wasn't a required proofmark. But I see no comment in the test telling us whether it's 2 1/2" or 2 3/4". Would it be all that unusual for a gun proofed 1 1/4 oz from that era to have 2 1/2" chambers?
