Shotgun arrived and it is in very ...very nice condition. There are a few handling marks on the stock, pad is leather covered and somewhat hard but not bad enough to replace. Checkering is perfect and sharp except for one shiner[a single broke diamond] the gun is on face and ejectors are timed. Both triggers break at approx. 4.7 lbs. The bores are perfect and the barrels are 95% condition rust blued,the action has quite a bit of case coloring left on the action [except the knuckles]. The action bottom and trigger guard are blacked. L.O.P. is spot on 14.5in. and weighs 6.24 lbs with thirty in. barrels. the markings ...I NEED HELP HERE are:
Right Barrel
Crown over K? On Underside of Chamber
On Watertable
1 1/8
12 over C in Diamond
BP CROWN
BV NP
3382 S.N.
12
WORDS "NITRO PROOF" RUNS UP AND DOWN
Left Barrel THE SAME MARKS EXCEPT THE ADDITIONAL WORD "CHOKE" AND 13 OVER 1 across from the 12
The barrels are numbered 2207 BUT THE ACTION S.N.3382 IS ON THE WATERTABLE
They are supposedly CHOKED CYLINDER AND IMP. MOD
How can I accurately measure chamber length. It was listed as 2 5/8in. but I suppose that is a 2.5 in. shotshell.
Nice gun at a nice price.
ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED!
