What a shame we live in a nation with no proof laws. People buy a gun and think anything wallyworld sells can be fed to the beast.

Just because a gun has been reamed for 3" or 3.5" shells doesnt mean it is stronger. It only means more material has been removed from the barrel at the factory.

I'm glad your friend is okay, but he was unwise to put a max charge in a low quality gun.

Tell him I have a Damascus barreled 1880s sidelock reproved for 3" shells that will function just like that Turk. Glad to sell it to him. Won't cost an arm and a leg, only a few fingers.
