Great info Researcher. Thanks! I am going to measure the bores of my other shotguns by different makers in the same time period to see what numbers they reveal. I hope others will do the same.

See the thread titled Pre 1900 Bore Size dated 9/19/2014. This shows Austin Hogan's sampling of bore sizes. The extreme overboring was mostly below S/N 70,000.

the topic of over-boring also came up in the recent thread entitled PARKER TERMS AND NOMENCLATURE of 5-21-17, in relation to the mysterious term "relined".
post # 8 alludes to, and post #10 specifically proposes, "over-boring" as an answer to the question raised. |

Richard Hoover, Charlie Price, and Austin Hogan have researched "over-bored" Parkers as well as the elusive 11-gauge Parkers... very interesting stuff too.
