And so Best English Twist it is. And here’s the factory letter:

ITHACA - SERIAL NUMBER 17140 ITHACA
Type: Shotgun
Grade: 1
Gauge: 12
Barrel Length: 30 inches Twist steel
February 1892

Sherman Bell seemed to dispel the notion that you shouldn’t fire anything except solid steel barrels. And so would you fire this shotgun with a “Best Performance Shotshell”? It’s the grey shotgun shell, placed alongside a standard Remington 2 3/4” shell, in comparison, to demonstrate that despite what the box says, it’s 2 1/2” long.
