Chuck, again, if the bores were partially honed or backbored, wouldn't that give me a larger reading on the Skeet's gage? If I compress the balls to 0 on the gage and gently release them, the dial goes to +, if I compress the balls at 0 the dial goes to -.
The dial after zeroed with the setting ring of .700 went from 0 to + .018 meaning to me that the bore is smaller, if it had gone to +.046 then I would say it was backbored.
Am I making sense?
Made a .717 aluminum plug, would not go in from the muzzle end of the right barrel, inserted it in the breech and it went in to 27". Verified the readings with a telescoping gage at the muzzle and got .716 at end and .718-.719 in as far as I could reach and tighten the stem.
I'm begining to wonder if these gun was special bored.
