I have come into ownership of a 1882 Maynard 4 barrel set.
I can not seem to find any measurements for the 64 cal brass shotgun shell, 1882 thin rim. The only thing I know for sure is that the rim has a thickness of approximately .080 inch, as measured from breach face to rear of barrel.
All the info I have in my books and info found on the web so far has not provided any specs.
I know it's not the 20 gauge varient as a 20 gauge brass shell will not fit and the measurements of the chamber and bore do not match.
Was thinking of trying a 24 gauge brass shell, but would like info prior to trying to make that work.
