Great gun, you were very lucky to find it with 2 3/4 chambers.

Yes I was my other one I had I recut the chamber to 2 3/4 thank you for watching

So this ol mountain man has always loved multifunctional firearms/ tools. This time I hope my feeble mind, and eye impairment can express this comment more coherent. For a lack of an easy category corner to paint this firearm into I will refer to as simply as a tool. I absolutely love this tool! The rifle cartridge it is chambered for is far more effective than many gives it credit for. The versitality of a shotgun... legendary. I as someone who has spent years in Grizzly country, this combination is an ultimate in usefulness. A solid mule deer- moose rifle, with a solid large SG slug back up faster than any lever gun follow up shots. Camp meat getting tool when blue/ruffed grouse offers a dinner bell for camp fare. A tool with even more versatility with the advent of slide in barrel sleeves, with additional options becoming limitless. I have a habit of turning a 12gauge tool into a leatherman of uses. An action to multiple reactions. Though I am now stuck with in driving distance of an AR, stuck in the land of Gretchen WWWwhitler. The ol mentality does not change. Mountain man

Going by the arm's age, my money is on it being chambered for 16 gauge 2 1/2 inch shells. Should not fire 2 3/4" in a 2.5" chamber. RST sells 2 1/2" 16 & 12 gauge shot shells. Look for a 65mm mark on the gun. 65mm = 2 1/2" . If it is chambered for 2 3/4" it will be marked 70mm.

I have a JP Sauer sxs 12. Its nitro proof 2 3/4" for magnum loads, its well built as you said..the fit and finish is super gd. But its choked like a turkey gun, kicks like A burmese mule though with slugs or Magnum buck shot 😂 . My gun was built in 1957.

The quality of the old belgium , London and austrian made guns is amazing. There field grade is as good if not better than the top of the line American made guns. They where real craftsman back then not the assembly line build it cheap like now days

We own one almost identical. Maybe a little older because it doesn't have a serial number. It is marked "Paul Jung" "Stuttgart - Pforzheim".

You might find the actual date if you disassemble the gun and on the right side of the barrel lugs you should see a three figure stamped number,eg 614,meaning June 1914. Have a look.From South Africa.

It's really hard to find exact info. On them. Alot of them where made by several different firms. One firm would make the barrels another the reciever another the wood and then it would be all hand fitted together. Also I have never found any parts to be able to swap becouse of hand fitting. I will try to do a video soon hopefully in a week or soon that and how to identify who and when they where built. it's just way to much to do in comments.

What does the term nitro proof mean?

@A.R.American1

Жыл бұрын

On all old European made fire arms they got marked after inspection and every firearm is shot in a controlled environment at 1.5 to 2 times the pressure of a factory load. If the barrel survives it gets a proof mark stating that it is bp ( black powder ) proofed meaning only black powder loads are safe. If its nitro proof ( smokless powder ) than it's safe with modern factory loads. I will do a video explaining this soon. Thank you

A fine arm, my brother.

​@@A.R.American1 Nice drilling! RWS produce new brass at a ok price. I press those 9.3x72R to make my 7x72R cartridges. These cartridges are low pressure cartridges, well suited for a lightweight drilling. (In 12 gauge, they tend to be fat and bulky to carry. ) The 9.3x74R is way less powerful than the 375 H&H. With a heavy 285 gr bullet, it's about 100m/s slower, and has about 1000J less energy than the 270gr light bullet in the 375H&H (710m/s 4600J vs 800m/s 5600J). (Source wikipedia)
