Thanks Kensal, I think I had read that about English guns barrel lengths. Its pretty clear that they havent been cut since the keels are in place and nicely done and the tubes are touching. I can also see that one barrel is choked tighter than the other. I have no doupt the chambers are shorter than 2 3/4 "and was wondering if there were 2 inch 16s ( like some 12s) or whether 2 1/2" were the standard. From what Ive found, the gun was made in 1881. Unfortunately in Houston I can only wear my barbour coat a few days every year.
