Picked up a Batavia Special with 2 sets of barrels. They are serial numbered to the gun first is: 28" appears to be IC & IM, 2nd set is 30" F&F and are stamped 3"on the flats. Shotgun is in nice shape and locks up tight with either set of barrels. All serial numbers match, no cracks. May have been restocked as the semi beavertail forend is almost totally covered with checkering, nice wood in the stock but has a Winchester sporting clays pad, has hard insert in the top.
When did the 3" 12 ga. shell come in to being? This shotgun seems to have a lot metal in the breech, not a light weight SxS. Thanks for any info on a Baker 2 barreled set.
