Bore/Chamber Questions
A friend who sells quite a few guns has this issue:
Gun is SN 55,337 , an 1888 GH, 2 frame 30" dam, gun wt 8.5lbs, barrel wt 4lbs 7oz, stamped 4lbs 15oz. Wall thickness .035. Chambers .820, bores .753, .020 chokes both barrels. Bores are decent, a little pitting.
Question he asks, is this an 11ga or is it a hogged out 12 ga? Too small for a 10. A 12ga shell is sloppy in the chambers, a 10 won't fit. We are both leaning toward a hogged out gun. Any different thoughts? If it has been reamed, the original wall thickness had to be huge.
