What a great gun and story. I don’t have any Mortimer guns but it is very nice. That was an interesting decision to choose 28”, but confirmed not to be cut by the maker’s successor and the tight chokes. How does it shoot and what loads/powders do you shoot with it?
It's still new to me. I took it to the trap range and shot some 1 1/8 in 2 7/8" hulls for a functionality test which it passed. It's 14.5" lop is too long for me so I am going to send it out to a gunsmith to have a different pad put on it and get the lop to 14". Given it's 8.5 lbs I am thinking I will handload some 3.5" shells with 1 3/8 oz of bismuth using Longshot. If those are not too bad in recoil I will up it to 1 1/2 ounce and see how it goes.
