an geoff, just because gun is recent import does not mean the chambers were not lengthened more recently...
key question in guessing what are safe shooting specs for this gun......what are barrel wall thicknesses in front of chambers?
an note, chamber length is not stamped on barrel, which means two things...
a. barrels were proofed before 1925...
b. we do not know for sure what were chamber lengths at time of proof...
what the chambers were is unimportant...
what they are now and is the gun safe to shoot with field loads, that is the question...
