Take a look at this chart http://www.shotguns.se/html/france.html Here are my 2 1/2 inch 12 gauge guns Have you tried putting any ammo in the breech? What is the biggest gauge that will start in the chamber?? Mike p.s. my bet is you have a 12 gauge 2 1/2" chambered shotgun https://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=217279 Last edited by skeettx; 10/06/17 08:56 PM. USAF RET 1971-95

Yours in service James Acerra ACE'S DUGOUT 07FFL The French often stamped the finish bore size near the barrel flats. 18.2 and thereabouts is a 12 ga. A 16 is around 17mm, the French tubes (in my limited experience) having a tendency to be slightly over bored, at least in 16's; I have 5 sets of French 16 ga barrels, and they average about .669. And not to steal the thunder from Captain Obvious, the chamber will of course be larger than the bore, to accommodate the shell, and thus the need for a forcing cone.
