[QUOTE="utvolsfan77, post: 5362942, member: 14847"] [USER=9066]@Wobblyshot1[/USER] and [USER=12078]@Smo[/USER], I picked up a percussion cap 16-gauge side-by-side earlier this year at an[ATTACH type="full" alt="01.jpg"]138640[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="02.jpg"]138641[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="10.jpg"]138642[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="06.jpg"]138643[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="13.jpg"]138644[/ATTACH] auction in Knoxville. My guess is that it is original rather than a modern reproduction. I haven't measured the muzzles with a caliper or micrometer yet, so I have no idea as to the degree of choke it has, if any at all. This shotgun appears to have been made in London from a stamping on the barrel rib. I just don't know if that is London, England or London, Kentucky. First thing I have to do is clean it up a bit, then determine if it will be safe to shoot. Will definitely be leaning toward lighter loads for a while. Would definitely welcome any advice from you two, or from others on this thread or forum. [/QUOTE]
