Think its the original barrels someone lengthened to 3.5" ? Its on the heavy side for a Scotts 10 gauge , ive seen one other Scott 10 gauge that was 11lbs that was also 3.5" chambers . The proof marks would really tell what is going on with the gun . I know the English had a 3 1/4" chamber 10 gauge so perhaps it was one someone lengthened . I had a C G Bonehill 10 ga hammer gun before that someone had reamed the chambers out to 3.5" .

Yes. It could have been sleeved. But where? In the US, there's no proof requirement. From the look of the gun, it's had its share of "enhancement." Barrel wall thickness at the chamber's end is the key. Otherwise, it seems OK for the price range. Perhaps a bit high. There's a lot of work to get it half way decent again.

I like the Purdey thumb lever. It should have a patent use stamp and number on the action flats. J.P. Followed by a number.

There was a Francotte 10 ga that sold recently with 3.5" chambers that was clearly marked on the barrel flats 2 7/8" and it was not a heavy 10 ga either . |

It’s a nice looking gun. I noticed they didn’t give the DAC and DAH. Looks pretty severe to me.
