It handled well and functioned perfectly. Bit heavy for a 28 gauge but still a real nice field gun.
Barrel was marked 2 7/8" chamber---I recall later models were marked 2 3/4".


That was a Simmons upgrade since the 28G wasnt introduced until 1937. Again, I keep hearing those upgrades were smooth cycling guns. There is nothing wrong with an upgraded Simmons 28g- at the right price of course.
