I have a Thomas Jackson hammered SxS that on the outside is in good shape with good wood. The problem is the barrel is well pitted, probably unsafe even with low pressure or black powder shells and is off face. Putting the gun on face isn't an issue. The gun was NOT as advertised as there was no mention of the gun being off face or the barrel being pitted.
Choice 1: Sell it as a wall hanger and take the $650 loss
Choice 2: Send it to Briley and have them put a set of tubes in the gun (if possible), if so what gauge 20, 28 or .410?
I'm leaning toward the 28 as the recoil of a 12 generally doesn't bother me, so getting a 20 seems pointless (and I can go down to a 7/8 load in the 12) and I lack the skill to run a .410. This would just be used for skeet sometimes.
