I took it over and had a couple screws made for it today from a friend of mine and he measured the inside bore at the breech and said it was .814 and it looks like the barrel has been cut so maybe it was 36 inches long at one time.I think that it may of had a bead at the end of the barrels that is missing. It sure is a cool old gun. Thomas

Thomas:

I wonder why the stock was stamped and marked? Perhaps by a military?

Anyway, there are websites that attempt to translate characters that you draw and the three large yellow ones got some hits as Chinese numerals. I did not try the others as I have some difficulty reading the form.

I had a repair done on the W.W.Greener copy and it is ready to shoot. I just had the ribs relayed and the forend fixed so the little 6.4 lb. should be good for quail and doves. It has some marks on the breech but didn't want to get to much tied up in a shooter Thomas

Thomas, the third character painted on the stock is the Chinese symbol for POWER. Take that photo to any Chinese restaurant and ask them what it means. Could clear up some mysteries.

Order up some mapo tofu and give them a look. Let me what you find out. Heck I can take it to Chinese restaurant myself and get the double win.

All the Chinese restaurants around here.....they could tell you what it means only if it was in Spanish. Same goes for the Greek, Italian, Cajun, German, French, and BBQ places.

Sadly today, it's like asking someone at Olive Garden to translate the libretto of La bohème.
