Come on, Bob, order that letter. This gun could easily have gone back to the factory for a trim. Of course, someone will probably buy it before the letter gets to you. Again, nice gun.

The 3" long chokes are hard to explain. Of course I don't know where Bob measured bore diameters but the ones he posted look to me to be original. Could the barrels be jug choked? What is the diameter of the bore 3-1/2" from the muzzle?
Minimum wall thickness for me means wherever it occurs. While a barrel with .020" MWT 6" from muzzle may not burst when shot if it gets dented there I have been told that there may not be enough metal left to do a proper repair. Frequently I find thin spots where dents have been repaired, usually on the muzzle half of the barrel. Anyway I check the wall thicknesses for the entire barrel length. I also check chamber wall thicknesses at the muzzle end of the chambers. Minimum wall thickness is not just about safely holding pressure but also about repairablity in the event of a dent.

Bob would you mind measuring and posting the bore diameters at the muzzle, at three inches from the muzzle, and 3-1/2" from the muzzle. That will tell us if it is jug choked.
Thanks! Mike |

OK. I received the "letter". It states the 27" barrels were added in 1910 and they were choked Cyl/Mod just as they currently are.
I will add a copy of the letter as soon as the current T strorm lets up so I can get it to Photobucket. Wow!!!!!!!! Bob Jurewicz I just can't get a copy of this letter here. It is not the T storm. Photobucket will not accept it. Now: does anyone have the original 30" barrels????? |
