First time post... 20ga. GH D... with 28ga.

[John McKee]

inserts... and I read you all like pictures... get downright fussy about having them

This is an old family gun I hardly paid any attention to. When my Dad told me it was a 28ga. back about 30 years ago. It was too small to do much with. Then I realized that if it were truly a 28ga.; there were only about 125 of them existent. So I pulled it out to double check. And it is a ca. 1915 20ga. in GH grade.

These inserts, now that I go back in the fog; were probably put in when the general impression was Damascus would blow up. Reading the forum here has been a great help. And clearly the "science" and "sport" of shooting have overtaken the fear of the 70's. That there is plenty of fun in shooting the old guns if done correctly.

Anyway...thanks for being here. My question is: Can I pop these 2-3" inserts out? Here's some pictures of the gun. And, can you tell if the gun has been refinished? It's really clean and in great shape. The 28ga. just didn't get used.
