Target gun barrels and bore size

[StubTwist]

I summed up the average bore diameter of seven Damascus guns (Parker, Lefever, LC Smith) and I came up with .733.

Of the 14 bores, this ranged from .727 (Pre 13 LC) to .739 (Parker) -- which was probably honed.

Ray, serial number??

I have several PB guns with bores in the .732 - .734 range. My DHE live bird gun is .738.

I agree with Frank and Ed. I have yet to measure a 12ga Parker with fluid steel barrels that are .729, they seem to be in the .731 to .734 range. The majority of 12ga pre S/N 60000 are in the .740 to .760 range, these are top action guns.
