Yes, Angel, both barrels are 12 gauge. And, yes, the initials are yours, more than you realize. The Damascus barrels are the standard early dimensions of .745 and .747 with chokes of .025 and .050. These barrels were probably enlarged a bit at PB when the request was made in 1902 to "Choke left barrel as tight as possible". Yup, fifty thousandths is about as tight as possible. The PSS 34" barrels are standard .730 with .034 in each barrel. I can't wait to pattern the .050 choked barrel with good loads. Even though the original Damascus barrels were obviously somewhat backbored to accommodate
