It is a 12 gauge, 2.5" chambers, 30" barrels, 7lb.12oz, Serial #14968.
Am I correct to assume that the barrels appear to be twist steel? Would you recommend shooting it and with what type of loads? Last edited by Bill Kekatos; 07-26-2015 at 06:07 PM.. Reason: Gauge Correction. |

I think it is reasonable to say that if you were high bidder on this gun at open public auction, then it is worth what you paid for it.
I don't mean to be flippant, but if someone else thought it was worth more than the winning bid... he would have placed a higher bid. It's a very nice looking gun and you should be proud of it and shoot it often. Should make a find waterfowl gun over decoys and a good turkey gun for shots under 35 yards. |

Do you know what type of pressures the RST shells produce? I reviewed their website, but did not see any pressure publishing.

If you telephone them they will tell you the pressures.

Per conversations with RST a few years back, their 12 gauge, 2.5" lead loads (not the NiceShot) have pressures ranging from 4300 psi (3/4 oz. Falcon Ultra Lite) up to 6600 psi
(1-1/16 oz. PaperLite w/ roll crimp). Please check with them personally, as these were verbally conveyed, and if they needed to change any components, the new pressures might vary slightly. Bottom line - if your gun checks out OK, these shells are perfect for it ! BTW: Nice Colt ! |
