printed same reply twice, how to you delete one?

28 and 32 thousands constriction on a 28 gauge would be 028=extra full and 032 would appear to never have been choked


Italians choke marks I find would be one* full choke, three stars *** modified ,but that would not equate to the 28, 32 constriction marks

Possibly a set of guild barrels??

Interesting Mills and thanks for posting. As Gary said, Italian or Belgian barrels would carry proofmarks

I'm thinking Japanese

We've seen those stars before - Ken Descovich's

I enhanced Mills' image, and it looks like some marks were ground off

Very possible stuff was ground off

I've seen them on the Smith & Wesson Elite Gold side-by-side. AKUS in Huglu, Turkey was the manufacturer, who now makes the Dickinson Arms Plantation and Estate models.

If the top rib duplicates Parker matting without the barrel steel or address on the barrels it maybe a product of Lefever Arms. Without proof marks I doubt those barrels originated in Europe or Canada.

That is just what it does Craig.

The Lefever shop makes the most sense. The rib matting is just as Craig describes. Anyone else care to chime in?
