My CH Bernard Steel two barrel set has a set of 32" barrels that were ordered "to shoot buckshot" without any other notation. It is my reunited "Charleston Gun" that spent its early life on a large plantation, supposedly shooting deer with buckshot with the 32" barrels in place. The bores are a shiny .730 and the chokes are a fairly short 2 1/2" to 2 3/4" length, one .028 and the other .030. There you go, a factory bored Parker buckshot gun, measured out at about improved modified. The second set of barrels, 28" Bernard Steel, was ordered cylinder and cylinder, .730 from front to back, a true South Carolina quail gun.
