Dear Deer creek
The fact that is wasn't bored out must have made you do a Fosbury Flip high jump for joy indeed!...I have heard about that kinda thing, & once its gone, it's gone man,
Sweet
So now you have an awesome Ball Gun, just the way the shooting gods from H&H intended.
I wish you 4 leaved clovers on the target paper mate

I presume this was done to enable the firearm to be held on a shotgun certificate in the UK, as the bores are otherwise mirror and bright. My question is now what is best to do with this situation? Do I leave as is both cylinder bores, have them both threaded for thin wall choke tubes or is there a way to have paradox rifling inserts reinstalled in the barrels to return to as original?
Thank you for your experienced opinions.


Bringing barrels to original would not be cost effective. Happily all you're likely to need is bucket of B&P 12ga 65mm 1 oz target slugs.

Thanks everyone. Sure was lucky with this one.
What do you think a ball gun like this is worth compared to a Paradox? Just wondering.

I'm curious how accurate a ball gun would be with smooth bores at 50...75 yards.. or what was it intended for?
