No, .729 is the internal bore dimension (in inches) when it was originally proofed. If it is now greater than 10 thousandths of an inch bigger than this then it will need to be re-proofed if you decide to sell. Gb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBS Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 (edited) You were pretty much bang on with your estimate, Gun no. 127591 was manufactured in approximately 1956. Gb Edited December 16, 2008 by georgieB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
