At the Las Vegas show in 2003 I bought a pair of English 28-gauge snap caps for my 28-gauge No. 2 NID and the gun wouldn't fully close on them. Returned them at the 2004 show. The English gun maker stated that early 28-gauges had thinner rims.

My 28-gauge Model 12 Skeet Gun won't quite close on modern 28-gauge rims, but functions like greased lightning with old paper Super-X or Super-Speed shells. It worked fine for years with the early 28-gauge AAs?!?

I seem to recall Babe saying something about having to recut the rim recesses on early Parker Bros. 28-gauges.
