Hello All:
Yes, those are indeed the marks as shown in the top picture! Mine are much deeper than what is shown in that photo!
I asked why he lengthened the forcing cones, I got no answer. That was one of those B.S. operations that only benefit the gunsmith. Doing this on a shot gun that is a century old, was more B.S. At least he could have consulted before he made the change!
I though that I could enjoy hunting with a family heirloom but now I have nothing! Right now, I am really upset!
Thanks for the replies,
Franchi
