Just an educated guess but your gun may be older than your grandfather.

Tad. Does the letter confirm current configuration? If so, congrats! Now what? Have the gun checked out and shoot it!!!

I second Dean’s comment. These guns were made to shoot.

Where can I have it inspected by someone who knows them? My father said it cannot fire conventional modern loads. Where do I find them after it passes inspection?

Tad, 10 gauge shells in a low pressure load are difficult to find. Modern low pressure loads CAN be put through the gun, if it is deemed safe to shoot. Barrel wall thickness is the most crucial measurement you need to obtain. I know I guy that may have a few extra shells(very few)..... hint hint. I also know someone who can inspect the gun, measure the barrels, check operation, and determine if the gun is safe to shoot. PM me and lets see if we can get this gun back to burning powder.

Be well, Dean
