Depending on the chamber length... I doubt the chambers are that long and being such an early gun it was most likely chambered to shoot brass shells and consequently, likely has no forcing cones - just a 90 degree ridge at the end of the chamber.

I would strongly recommend measuring all aspects of the chambers.

Randy take that 32 inch 16 to the sporting clays range you'll love it. I have two both on the #1 frame. A hammer gun and a GHE vent rib and they are fun to shoot clays with.

Oh you don't have to encourage me in that department. I have been to the skeet range and 5 stand with it and just as soon as that little stock bend is complete we'll be back at it. A GHE VR 32", wowsa! Put me at the top of the list if you should ever become disenchanted with her !

Now you have me concerned!!! Think I will measure the chambers and get Gad Cartridge to load a few brass black powder for the turkey hunt!
