I've been picking my brain trying to figure out what gauge this is. Any help would be appreciated. I can't find much information on it on the web. Thanks guys.

    Measure the I.D. of the barrel(s) with a dial caliper, and get back to us.

    Read the barrel flats, if you can.


    It's a percussion gun, so won't have flats, but the gauge may be marked on underside of barrels if removed, along with proofmarks.

    A simple ruler will get you close, but peferably one granulated to 1/32" or 1/64". For some examples:

    10 gauge = .775" bore.

    12 gauge = .729"

    16 gauge = .662"

    20 gauge = .615"
