    Very nice legacy Jed! It's a 1901 00 ejector gun. Take it by a gunshop and they can tell you the gauge-16s and 20s are very desirable.
    Be aware that both 16s or 20s will have short chambers and you should use 2 1/2" low pressure shells. It's probably well past a good check and clean-let us know what part of the country you're from and we might be able to recomend a doublegun specialist smith near you.
    Be sure the hammers remain cocked while disassembled (keep the safety on), or you'll need to re-cock them to put the forend back on.
