Thanks, Gary. Does that mean that a regular 12 gauge Winchester brass shell, would not go into the gun, as I mentioned in an earlier post?
I know it sounds goofy, but I sanded down a plastic piece until it passed easily into the shell chamber, but fit very snugly beyond that point. I then carefully pushed it through the barrel and extracted it . I took it to the local gun shop, and he got a measurement of .724" on an electronic caliper. What that means, I don't know because of many possible mistakes on my end, but if the figure is anywhere near accurate, it sounds more like a 12b than a 13. I'm just going to have to find someone with a bore gauge if that's the proper term.
Thanks so much for your input! Jack.
