"When I sold it, it was only with full disclosure of the modifications.'
I'm sure Ed is really at heart a fine man. He has a melodious voice and can sell stuff. Sorry though, I don't believe that statement.
On the other hand, when we were in the middle of the Covid supply issue crisis I bought a flat of old 2 3/4" low pressure Federal shells. I intended to use them in my French 1926 SxS...lots of barrel thickness, choked at .024, .024. I was tempted to try them in the Damascus Reilly but decided to wait. The issue is still not resolved in my mind and I've read the DBS lines and others. I'd still prefer to shoot 2 3/4" low pressure shells out of a 2 1/2" chambered gun than rechambering it.
