Research Letter validation

[charlie cleveland]

the weight of the barrels at 3 lb. 10 ounce is awful light for a 10 ga..probably a 12 ga...looks like it has lots of case colors...good luck if your saleing it...charlie

Have you tried to insert a 10 gauge shell in the chamber? We would also like to see the letter you say is different from your "other" letters. Thanks. Lovely gun.

Thanks, finding a 10gauge shell is challenging. stores are still struggling to keep ammo on the shelves around here. I attached the letter. I withheld initially because I wasn't sure if it was permissible to post the research letters. There are some obvious discrepancies right off. T Grade when the gun is Marked P and obviously, it's not a Hammer gun either. I'd really like to know if the 26" barrels are the original or if they were modified.

Thanks. wish I could find a 10 gauge shell somewhere. having a hard time getting a good read with calipers since it's such a small margin between the two. any ideas how to check if it's 10 gauge without a shell handy?
