islandgun Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 Mine says CAM 70 which I take to mean 70mm or 2 3/4" the mark is just forward of the chamber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunman Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 As far as I know all these were 70mm . Simplest way to check is to measure it .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnfromUK Posted February 19, 2019 Report Share Posted February 19, 2019 I have a (similar date and similar basic gun, different trim) S57EL. It is 70mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
army646 Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 I have had an S56E for about the past 10yrs. Love it to bits, a lovely, light game gun, ideal for pigeons, double trigger, choked at 1/4 and 3/4. I will eventually have to replace it, but the question is with what? I suppose a Silver Pigeon will be the nearest to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnfromUK Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Keep it. From what I hear, they are not built as well nowadays. I am keeping my S57, which has 2 sets of barrels, but sadly a single trigger. Mine feels built to last forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
