I did some measuring of the barrels. The 2-1/2" chambers are intact, but, the bores have been 'cleaned up' a bit. The right bore measures .658" with the choke at .658". The left bore measures .659" with the choke at .635, which is not full, but modified/ improved modified. The gun balances nicely about 1/4" ahead of the hinge pin. That is too bad about the records being destroyed.
I have taken 4 ruffs with the gun so far. We have had some mild temperatures here, mostly in the upper 50s with a few days in the 60s. Yesterday was 70!

Note: The bore measurements were made with telescoping 'snap' gages and a caliper. They may be a skosh off, either way!
