Just yesterday evening at the local gun club I measured an Imman Meffert Suhl 12 ga with undersized .714 bores of Krupp steel for the Member who acquired it. I measured it as upon examination the chambers appeared lengthened. The chambers measured 3.25" and at that juncture with the forcing cones the WT was .070 (L) and .072 (R). I offered my opinion which was one he did not cherish. Another club member opined that Krupp steel was of the finest in the world and that this gun was safe to shoot with any modern ammo but he should probably shy away from the "really big trap loads". To the Members credit he put the gun in the rack stating he did not want to see anyone get hurt. I applaud him for that. After some discussion he is going to have some conversation with Briley and possibly two gunsmiths as recommended to discuss options.
