Very interesting and informative testing Chuck.
That's a very pretty piece of wood too. |

Beautiful Repro, Chuck. They used some spectacular wood in a lot of those guns. I used to have one with the most eye-popping piece of burl walnut I've ever seen. I sold it of course...

How big are the paterns, size of your paper targets? The left barrel paterns look very good at 40!.....All the loads look about the same. I would guess the left full tube has been opened up a tad or it needs remeasured. I own 4 sets of M/F and all are .038 give or take a point ot two. A close look may see some polishing marks compaired to one that has not been touched....this is only a possibility, it could be a factory spec? Its a very good choke! The factory .038 is overchoke for a 28ga but long as they patern well who cares...thanks for the info and pics... I have a three barrel set 410-28-28 that is my shooter set. I plan some long paterning sessions this spring...(-: SXS ohio

Kenny,
That board is about 36" across for perspective. I'll check the chokes again later today. I was just going by what Jaqua's told me when they measured it while I talked to them on the phone. Not in the pix is a pattern I shot with the 1 oz Win #6 load from 50 yds. It was dense enough to assure a kill on a rooster at that range. CSM told me that the .410 bbls will be the last batch of the barrels they run. They said that could be up to a year from now. I'm betting longer. |

My measurement of the chokes comes out to .034/.013
They look to be untouched, as I would expect. This gun had hardly been fired if at all. It was so tight, I could hardly get the forend on without struggling and darn near had to break it over my knee to open it. I loosened the forend fit lastnight. I can't stand a gun that tight. |

I am thinking about having the chokes in my 28" barrels opened a bit. Thinking .010/.025 - something along the lines of IC/IM. Did you happen to pattern your left barrel at 30-yards? That's the one I would like to see.
Nice Repro. Stopped by Jaquas Thursday afternoon. They actually have a few in the racks right now. I don't recall seeing any DT guns, though. |

Who would have ever thought that a double trigger Repro would be a premium item on the gun market? The Skeuses probably went through hell to get the single trigger design finalized. Now they could sell a double trigger conversion for a fortune.
