Good article but I don't agree with this statement.
The chamber of the big gun at
first was not the 3½-inch length of today,
but rather a short 2 7/ 8 inches. Aside
from that difference, the big .775-inchbore size has always been the standard
and, being the largest bore diameter of
all American shotguns, it has long been
known for its massive firepower.
What about the big eight, I think he forgot about them.
Can't wait to try my new to me 3 1/2" Beretta Silver Pigeon SxS this fall.
