Target gun barrels and bore size
I have two questions. A little background first. I have a 12 ga that was ordered to shoot trap. It has damascus barrels. Built in 1912. It is completely origianl and unmessed with.
First, why would a shooter order a gun with damascus barrels when steel barrels were in vouge?
Second, the bore size is .734. Would this size be a special order? (I don't know why Parker would just randomly over-bore barrels). If so, would it be shown as a special order in the Parker records? Why would someone order this size?
Thx, Ray
