I have a 20ga DH 26" 6lb gun that was made for 3 inch shells per letter and hang tags. But back then it was a 7/8 oz load.

Now that gun, makes me envious. What do those pellet counts come out as in terms of choke? It looks like a nicely contrasting combination, well suited for upland game.

Garry the chokes are rt .017 & lt .029. Kinda tight with modern shells, I use 7/8 oz spreaders. It's a great gun.

Oh, no!! I wish you hadn’t shown the stock. Now I’ve got a severe case of gun envy.
