Harry,
You got me wondering. I was getting different readings depending how I held calipers. So, I borrowed some Meyers gage pins and I measured the right to be .723 and the left to be .715 inches.
I found a picture of a table online that shows .723 to be somewhere between imp. cyl. and skeet. The .715 is showing as light mod.
I think that will do fine for grouse and woodcock. It does pretty good on skeet and trap. A good shooter could show her off, but that's
not me.
Threaded Mode
