I have one with .730 bores and is in the .023-.024 range if not very close to original... maybe barrels where re blacked..... maybe bores where polished it's a 1895 gun, bores ran on the large size then.... I haven't seen any info of original bores being under .729.... so if not close to factory where was the metal removed?
These are decisions each individuals will have to make but I think the gun has to be looked at and assessed.
Rich, we have a smith in the area that apprenticed and worked in England and he has mumbled numbers in that area.
