I don't own the gun yet, just thinking hard on doing so. I definitely want to hear some hard dimensions on the gun's barrels. It's old enough that a modern choke gauge may be completely wrong. My 1888 10 ga EH will tell you that it's a bit more open than cylinder with a stuff in gauge BUT true bore vs. choke bore on the mic, it's IM and shoots tighter than that on a pattern board. No jug chokes, the old larger 10 ga. bore. True bore .795 or so, MTW .043 anywhere toward the mid and muzzle, very heavy as you go back.
Serial number not in the book but all the guns around it are 30 or 32 inch barrels, this one is 28 inches and owner says he thinks they're cut. Muzzle pics not very good, cannot really tell anything from them.
Not sure about Briley but will be talking to them anyway.
