Bill couldn't agree more, the walls on this gun are .140 in front of the forcing cones and .080 at 9" from the breech. The .035 spot is a about 5" from the muzzle. That is good enough for me in that I handload 2 7/8" shells to 4800psi. I own the Galazan $450, professional bore gauge. The W&C Scott Monte Carlo seems like an excellent buy in the US. When new in 1899 this gun was in the same price range as a Parker BH. They are a lot of gun for the money and I am trilled to have a 10bore. In the 1880's and 1890's they seemed to have been the choice of many serious pigeon shooters.
