I take it you want it put back to 16g? What are the bores? Still 16g?
I would recommend giving Kirk Merrington a call and discuss with him. I know he does chamber conversions often.

Somebody probably did it when they were "going to quit making 16 gauge shells". I wonder when that was? I've heard guys say that all my life, it would be comical if it wasn't so stupid. I know a guy that, to this day, thinks they're going to do that and hordes shells thinking he's going to "cash in" when they stop. I also went to an estate sale a year or so ago where all the shotgun shells were 16 gauge and priced at $35 a box because they "didn't make them anymore". I told the guy I had a couple cases of 16 gauge I'd sell him for $15 a box, he didn't want to buy then oddly enough.

If this 16 has indeed been rechambered to 12, it may be dangerous to shoot. For a professional evaluation and potential rescue, I'd send the gun to Kirk Merrington. And please don't shoot it until he checks it !

This is the 16ga gun that was posted last year with 34" 6 pound barrels. It is a real interesting gun. I have no intention of shooting it until it is evaluated. Any comments on using Briley vs. Kirk? I talked to bothe over the last week and each said the evaluation project would not be a problem based on inspection.

Kirk Merrington is by far the best barrel man in the lower 48 today.
