Consider yourself lucky you did not buy it. I had one and, if a gun can be hated, it was very much hated by me. They are choked and it is impossible to get a proper size wad past the choke for loading. Undersize wads allow blow-by give lousy patterns.
I recently purchased a Navy Arms 12 gauge double and both barrels measured.672” at the muzzle. I’m guessing it is a Turkey and Trap barrel but the chokes aren’t marked. The underside is marked 12 ga. and 18.3. Running a mop or brush down the barrels starts tight and loosens after the first couple of inches.
I have questions. Besides Rifleman 1776 do any of you have experience with this gun and effective loads or loading techniques. I need to get it out and play with but have been busy with other stuff. The .672 seems real tight for a 12 old 870 with a modified choke measured little over .700 when I checked it. I don’t remember the number exactly.
Let me know what you think.
