Default Gas Checks

[QUOTE=Gordon Sjue;26879]I r "The interesting thing about this gun is that it has what I would call gas checks in each barrel which depress when loaded."

GAS CHECKS ? ... Are you saying that the "gas checks" intended to release gases from behind the chamber to reduce the amount of the gun's recoil ?

I remember seeing a photo of a double barrel gun that had a shallow groove machined into the face of the standing breech that ran from the firing pin to the outside edge of the receiver ... And the caption said the groove was supposed to reduce the gun's "kick" by releasing gasses from behind the chamber ... Odd stuff like that is always fascinating so I can't wait to see your pictures.
