My GAWD look at those chokes on the Dam set!!!

These tubes are begging for more than powder puff loads. I doubt that the original owner was interested in sporting clays. More like the wrath of a man concealed in a marsh, patiently awaiting the pending mayhem.

I think you may very well be correct ! And again the time worn phrase “if it were mine” I’d have it out patterning my handloaded #1 and #0 buckshot loads at about thirty yards from both barrels . Might even go so far as ordering a single cavity round ball mold from Tanner in the UK that was cut within a couple thousandths of the tightest barrel at the muzzle . That reminds me I have a Grade 3 top lever four frame 10 that’s never killed anything
