Gents,
A co-worker has an "attic" find 12 ga. LC Smith 2x2, that he's trying to sell me.
I know even less about shotguns than I do about other firearms.
It's steel barrelled, not damascas, made in 1908, field grade with hammers.
Here are the problems, both bores have pitting right in front of the chambers, and
the left hammer has been brazed.
Does the pitting in the barrels rule out shooting it? I shoot pistols and rifles that have some
pitting, but their barrels are much thicker.
I dealer/gunsmith told me it would be aproximately $600 to reline the barrels to 20ga. It's not
worth putting that much money into it ,or is it?
Thanks,
Tubac
