I once owned a W&C Scott Monte Carlo B ejector gun built in 1892 as a live pigeon gun. It was later rebarreled by the maker with 26" steel tubes with tight chokes and 1-1/4 ounce proofs. It had the original very heavy buttstock when I bought it, and I had the wood cut down to reduce the weight to 6lb, 10 oz. After opening the chokes to .008 and .025, I hunted with it for many years until I found a true left hand gun.
