I have a Simpson which I think was made right before WW II. The Simpson family was Jewish and I don't think it existed after WW II. This gun was shipped to Amberombie and Fitch with 28 in barrels and has been shortened to 26. It seems to be CYL x CYL. If it was made before the war would the chambers be 2.5 or 2 3/4. Also I know using 2 3/4 shells in a 2.5 in chamber would kick more but is it dangerous to shoot 2 3/4 in 2.5 chambers? I do intend to shoot some paper to see how it distributes the shot since I am thinking of using it as a grouse/woodcock gun this fall if I get to make the trip. Thanks for any help.
