I had a Grade 2 Hammergun that lettered as a 14 ga. And was ordered with cleaning and reloading supplies and shipped to Louisiana. Some time around the outbreak of WW1, 14 ga ammo from overseas became nonexistent and someone professionally sleeved the chamber to 16 ga with 2 3/4” chambers. This was done with steel as opposed to bronze as was the practice back then. This gun patterned like a backbored 16 Gary Carmichael shot it several times and patterned it. It was for sale here on this forum but eventually sold privately on the west coast. Brad Batchelder has a had time determining if the sleeping was factory and said it was the best chamber sleeping Jos he had ever come across
