Kevin, since you are in California, I would recommend having Dave Fjelline in Lincoln ,Ca., take a look at it. He has a passion for hammer guns--especially long barreled ones.
Just thinking, I wonder if Briley makes a 10ga to 12 ga conversion tube/insert that would allow you to safely shoot it--I believe they run around $600 installed. I have recently been in your shoes. I picked up a 16 ga hammer gun with 34" twist barrels, a rare find. Unfortunately, it was in poor condition , and deemed unshootable in its current condition--still debating what to do with it. I can get you Dave's # if you want

That would be great I actually don’t live very far from Lincoln, it’s about 45mins from where I am. I’ve done some reading on the barrel inserts and I think that’s the route I’ll go if they are deemed unsafe as is.

Until you get the barrels inspected I don't think there is any reason to think your gun will be unsafe to shoot. The wood and the rest of the gun look like it is in very good shape and well taken care of. If the barrel wall thickness is good, which I suspect it will be, you will be good to go with RST or hand loads.

Yes, I agree with Matt--your gun look pretty good otherwise. I am sending Dave's inf to you by PM. Definitely take it over to Dave.

What are the 3 ? nailheads in the medial wall of the right barrel?
"I don't think there is any reason to think your gun will be unsafe to shoot." is an opinion which none of us can justify based on pictures on the internet. http://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/...=491058&page=1

Good eye Drew, none of us caught that. Cant imagine what that is. Even more, I think I would get Fjelline's opinion since he is less than an hour away. Keep us informed Kevin.
