Hawk Carse

Flayderman says
Made 1882-1885, 3000-4000 guns in four grades.
Licensed by Anson & Deeley, maybe the first American made hammerless shotgun.

All listed with Damascus barrels, 2 7/8" chambers standard in pre-magnum days.

does'nt look like damascus barrells and has mirror bores

deerhide

There is a chance that it has later barrels, by H&R.
Or if you don't want to shoot 10 ga. in it get stainless steel 12 ga. chamber sleeves from Brownells. That's what I did with my old Belgian made sxs 10.
