It's too bad I didn't know you years ago. My first project gun was a 12 gauge Crescent hammer gun. After I got it back on face and shooting I wondered about it's horrible patterns. After measuring the barrels at both the muzzles and above the chambers and finding both ends measuring .701" in both barrels I realized that someone at the factory had forgotten to bore the barrels to the proper .729" diameter below the muzzles leaving a very tightly bored cylinder choked gun with very thick barrels. I can't think of a much better candidate for a coach gun than that old Crescent. I ended up selling it on consignment through a local gun dealer, hopefully it was turned into a coach gun.
