I realize it's been quite a while since this thread was started. I have an additional question regarding it. As a lad I was told stories of guns in 14,8,and4 gauge. Don't know if any are true or just folk tales. I am at a loss to determine the caliber of this old shotgun. 12ga shells won't chamber in it (too big) and 16ga shells drop nearly clear into the chamber including the rim of the brass. Is it possible it is a 14ga gun or perhaps early brass black powder shells for it were of different diameter it would accommodate?
