12 gauge bore size question
I read with interest the bore and chamber size article by Austin in the lastest Parker Pages. It mentioned some live bird guns had a bore size of .740. I have a Parker ordered by a known trap shooter with 32" barrels. Its bores
are .740. It isn't a "live bird" gun with no safety.
I thought it may have been polished in later years but I'm now wondering if it was made that way. Anyone have any thoughts? Would the Parker records indicate a larger than normal bore size?
Thx for any thoughts.
