Default 8 gauge bound for the FL pan handle

Well Brutus II arrived today and it was a bit better than I anticipated . It does have some fine pitting on the top of the action in the lever area and there is a wood patch in the end of the forend but it seems okay and I fired it down thru the woods twice . The letter on this gun stated it was ordered by a dealer in AL for the Geo. E. Wood Lumber Company of Caryville FL and special instructions were for it to pattern buckshot close . At the muzzles this gun is about ten thousandths more open than my top lever hammer 8 . I wud speculate maybe the Goe. E. Wood Lumber Company was perhaps having bear problems . Who knows !
