Jack, I live in Floyd V.A. The venue is in Sanford N.C. if you are in V.A. when I get back maybe we could get together and try the shell in your gun, Gary

That's an awful nice gesture, but a long trip even if we met halfway! |

Mystery solved!!! (I think!)
Thanks to a very gracious and savvy P.G.C.A member with the proper equipment, I now have some accurate figures which to work!
According to this fine gentleman, the chamber runs .770 out to .761. Then the barrels are as follows: RIGHT--.730 to .731 at the end. LEFT--.731 out to .732. at the end Choke (?)- cyl & cyl Chamber--2.425 (2.5) So what does all this mean? Darned if I know. What I DO know is that it sounds too big to be 14 or 13 gauge--shucks!!! Sounds like many of you mentioned--some version of a 12 ga. --most likely a 12b??? Anyway , a BIG THANKS AGAIN TO ALL WHO HELPED ME!!! P.S.--Even though it was probably luck, I'm pretty proud of my" homemade barrel measuring device" With it we came up with a figure of .724 compared to actual values of .730-.732 for a difference of only six to eight thousandths. Not too shabby for a magic marker tube, a little fine sandpaper, and a ramrod! (plus someone else's caliper) Last edited by Jack Hamner; 03-06-2014 at 05:09 PM.. Reason: to correct a mistake I made |

[QUOTE=Jack Hamner;132932]Please see my last post--I think we've got it close to nailed down. It would be very helpful, however, if you could take measurements of your shell and send them to me. Thanks!

Could someone that owns both a brass 12 gauge "A" and a "B" shell measure them and post their respective sizes please? I'm interested in learning more about them!
