I would not assume that gun was made for pigeon trap shooting. However it is the clone of my 1907 Army/Navy, that was probably made by Webley. High stock, same weight, 30 barrels (fluid steel) and no choke. My gun though has 11/4 oz proofs and 23/4 chambers. Have you confirmed the barrels are cut? I have wondered the same thing about my gun: why configure it the way it is without choke? Makes no sense to me. It is a great dove gun and will break clay targets at impressive distances but I credit modern ammo for that. I am far from an authority but if it was made to shoot at the traps i would think it would have had choke. Furthermore taking two inches off the barrels would probably not have reduced it to cylinder bore. Im interested in what others have to say.
