DH live bird gun
I acquired this gun over thirty years ago cheap because it had no safety and It would break open when fired. Years later I found out why and fixed it. Oscar Gaddy informed me about the live bird option and that I should not mess with it as I was considering adding a safety. This live bird was made in 1901. It has 32" barrels choked Improved modified in both tubes. Measurements are LOP 13.75 over Hawkins pad, DAC 1.5, DAH 2. It has a repair code of LK3. It received new barrels as it now has ejectors that are Parker for sure with the overload proved stamp. There is a small 3 on the back of the barrel flats close to the ejector. I had never seen a number there so I checked the chambers and they are 3". I would like to know if anyone else has encountered the small 3. It will really smoke clays.
