Russ, thanks for the advice. The gun I'm looking at is gun broker auction#358829198. It looks to be a very good condition grade 2 hammer gun for its age.The description and the thickness on the end of the barrels seem to show if they were honed they didn't touch the chokes. Though I realize that the chokes are probably the least critical area as far as pressure. If I did my research right I think this is a very early top lever gun. I very much like the snipe or woodcock on the bottom of the receiver. Is a 1 frame the norm on these early 12ga. hammer guns?
