1980's gun 12ga with 26" IC/M barrels.... I should even be able to shoot Steel shot out of this gun.

Joseph:

They are great little guns. I have killed a bunch of ducks in the timber with the same gun. I would suggest you dont shoot any steel bigger then #4's in it though. Truthfully I have shot some #2's but that load makes me a bit nervous..... Just me....

Good luck with the gun

I have a 1985ish Browning Citori that I hunted ducks with since I bought it new back then. Shot a lot of #2 steel out of it.... Never had an issue..... But, on SxS gun maybe #2's is not recommended.

The gun does have 3" chambers, which is a nice to have thing. :-)
