Looking to purchase a vintage, say 1930, SxS to do some Duck/Goose hunting. Bore measurements are .733+ .736 35 30.
Would those measurements be suitable for today's heavier loads?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks in advance! Gun weight, barrel length, chamber length and forcing cone taper would also be items of interest to me, FYI--

Before this lurches sideways the original question concerning the barrels is all I would like some feedback on. Everything else is OK.

With out having hands on with the gun.
I would say NO. There is a lot more to it than bore size.

Those bore dimensions are subject to sudden change when firing steel shot in a vintage gun......;)

The gun you describe, .030-.035 wall thickness is within acceptable limits. The restriction is pressure levels and too tight chokes for most non toxic loads. Also stock ability to handle heavy loads should be a consideration.
Which guns are on your list? What shells are on your list. If using steel I risk nothing greater than a nitro special with chokes opened to IC and Light Mod. Others would shoot a 10 k gun and not worry.

These measurements would be suitable for a duck/goose gun using Nice Shot. http://www.rstshells.com/store/c/6-Nice-Shot.aspxAdded opinion: I would have the stock stabilized (epoxy?) Mike
