    I Have Measured A Few 10 gauge LCS Archived Message

    I have measured a few, just a very few, LCS 10 gauge SXS shotguns built before 1913 and they were all choked very tight, to tight to be useful. I have reamed out some of the choke from a few 10 gauge SXS shotguns built 99 years ago or more then 99 years ago. I have reamed some of the choke out of both American made 10 gauge SXSs and English made 10 gauge SXSs. The pattern performance of all of these 10 gauge SXSs was improved by reaming some of the choke out of the barrels.......Jent
