Thx for the reply targa. Just as a matter of information, this gun has never had 3 inch shells shot in it since probably the mid 1950's. Can't comment on it before that as it was my grandfather's gun and the one I first hunted with at the age of 9. Do you feel it's even safe to shoot modern 2-1/2 inch shells given the assumption that everything else is in proper working order, or should I just make this a "wall hanger"? I was thinking of restoring this gun as a "keepsake" , but not sure about that if modern ammo is a problem. I guess I was assuming that there wouldn't be that much difference between early 60's ammo vs what's available now. My mistake I guess.
As far as the off face due to use goes, I'm betting that occurred before my grandfather got it, as he was not much of a gun / hunter person.
Thx again for your comments.
