Most rifled-choke guns are slightly thicker in the muzzle walls than equivalent shotguns, and some early examples have a distinct 'swamped' look to the barrel-group as a result.

"Appears to have been bored out"
Most of us on this forum would happily crawl through broken glass for the chance to kick the perpetrators of such vandalism solidly in the nads.

Marrakai...I think he means it looks like the rifling has been bored out because it wasn't there to start with,except for the "Remnants" which are the couple inches of Paradox rifling at the muzzle.
At least I hope so..other wise I'm with the Nad Squad

Franc,

Your clearly on track here. 3978 please note that choke rifling is only about two inches of rifling. The rest of the bore is and was smooth! The rifling can be of two types: earliest was ratchet rifling. That gave way to the more normal land and groove such as you see in rifles today. If Marrakai got it right, I'll join the squad...

Regards, Tim

Sorry 3978, but what do you mean by "16 ga single,...single selective trigger"
What is there to select if it is a single?

Is this German????
Sounds like it may have had a rifle barrel that has been lost.
Or it was intended as a slug type multi-purpose gun.
Very interesting.
Best,
John
