We don't have proof laws to worry about, but if is was proofed as a 12 bore and is now .739 and .742 it has been opened up and may be out of proof. This ain't a dress rehearsal , Don't Let the Old Man IN

Daryl Hallquist Sidelock Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 6,469 Likes: 345 Bozeman, Mt.	what bore diameter is it proofed at ? It probably has the Lard Patent single trigger, but the patent might be marked on the flats. Westley Richards used that quite successfully.

Hope it’s at minimal .025. Also, the nose of the comb looks like it’s been shaved down and tapered, a little odd-looking to me. JR Last edited by John Roberts; 11/07/25 11:33 AM.
