Thanks again Chuck for the consise letter!
There was considerable deliberation as to whether or not the 12 gauge barrels had been altered to 10 bore. I don't remember the exact measurements but we concluded that in order to have taken them to 10 bore the original BWT would have had to have been in the neighborhood of .080. However, I was surprised to find that when I got home and weighed them that they came in at exactly 3 pounds. Unstruck weight was 4.4.
It seems we will never know. The only thing we discussed is whether or not there would be more information in the ledger book columns that were not able to be copied originally. It seems odd the "make 10" would not have included a length.
Thoughts?
