George, have you ever measured the bores against the muzzle measurement? I had two Miroku/Daly 500s marked ic/mod. They were actually sk2 and IM. However, those guns are tough.


No, I have not. My gun has 28" barrels and I am sure was originally choked Mod and Full. Jim Legg opened the chokes and they measure IC and Mod on my Galazan drop in guage. They may well be more open than that. Anyhow they seem to work well with steel shot...Geo
