it is not my intention to side track this thread, but Daryl's measurements give rise to a question....i purchased my first Lefever gun earlier this year and was surprised to find that the bores both measure .750 (consistently, there is no taper)....i had assumed that to indicate that a good deal of honing had occurred somewhere in the life of the gun (1890 dom). but now i see Lefevers mentioned with bores in that neighborhood....were these high grade collector guns also honed, or were Lefevers subject to be found with oversize bores?

best regards,
tom
