Jason,

I replied this to your original post and pictures of the gun on the other thread. It is a Crescent Arms (Hardware Store Gun).

It seems from the stamping on that gun the Chinese did not invent stealing intellectual property!

I bought a 12 gauge Crescent recently for $50, tight lock up, checkered walnut. H.S.& B. Co., Chicago. Hardware store gun. Had my choke gauge with me and it showed modified and modified. The top lever spring was broken, which is just a tempered v shaped wire. Bought one from Numrich and bent, filed, and retempered it to fit. Now it turned out to be cylinder and cylinder because the bore was .710. "Choke bored" was an accurate description on the barrel! But this one had seen a hacksaw to 28". They were not bad guns back in the day, for the average working stiff.
