I am aware of my limits. Striking to refinish, measuring walls, dent raising, cones and chokes, and light honing, and that is all. I am interested in a neat little 16ga Samuel Smallwood hammergun with 30” damascus tubes. Nice acquisition if the barrels aren’t toast. Who do folks turn to to determine what can be done to remove bore pitting, and is skilled to do that work? I want to inquire about having the bores cleaned up as much as the existing material would allow.
The pitting is just past the forcing cones. Below are the measurements.
Right
Bore .663”
Choke .020”
MWT:
9” from muzzle .038”
15” from muzzle .043”
9” from breach .068”
End of chamber .108”
Left
Bore .661”
Choke .030”
MWT:
9” from muzzle .035”
15” from muzzle .039”
9” from breach .065”
End of chamber .106”
Thank you.
