Bores on 10ga guns made before about 1892 have bores of .795-.796.

My 10 (1893) has a bore of .783 and choke of .740. Used inside calipers and digital mic. to measure bore, admittedly not the most precise, the choke dimension is precise though. That gives me .43 in both and it shoots tight. Hope this is of some help.

Without measuring the bores, the muzzle diameters can allow you to only speculate what the constriction may be. No way of knowing for sure. Oversized bores are not at all uncommon.

I have a 10 ga lifter circa late 1870' s and bores measure .802 and .805 chokes measure at .760. and actual patterns lead #6 at 35 yards show 90% patterns.

WOW! Nice George!
Does anyone have an accurate bore mic suitable for a 10 gauge they can send me on loan? I have two sets of 10 ga. barrels I have never measured. .

When things get back to a more normal state come up to Major Waldron's and shoot with us some evening, I am sure Scott would bring his 10ga bore mic and measure them for you.
