It is a well used but well taken care of gun. tight as a drum with lever still left of center and as hard as I try I cannot find any barrel pits. I just got around to fully measuring the barrel interior with my Stan Baker gauge.The gauge is very repeatable and I have not noticed any significant margins of error.
After measuring the 30" barrel set here is what I get.
Right Barrel
.722 past forcing cone. No variation in gauge
At muzzle no constriction, no choke taper that is none .000
Left Barrel
.720 past forcing cone. No variation in gauge
At muzzle -.029 constriction, with about 4 1/2" of choke taper
Other than the serial number I can find no other markings on the barrel.
Cyl on the right and IM on the left? Seems pretty odd to me. particularly for that era? I guess the birds they were shooting were close at flush and straight out greased lightning.
What are your thoughts.
