It looks like the main marking where the barrel meets the receiver says "HLC" or something close to that, but I can't quite make it out.
I'm glad you brought that up; I forgot to mention that. My friend's old gun had 2 1/2" chambers. I told him multiple times that he shouldn't fire modern ammo in it, but I think he does anyhow. It's his gun, I warned him.As a black powder proofed gun there's a good chance the chambers and forcing cones are considerably shorter than a modern shotgun. The paper shells back then were shorter to start with, and they were roll crimped which didn't need as much room to open up. Check the chamber before shooting any shells, black powder loaded or not.
Brownells just sent me ads for 1 3/4" shells lead 7.5shot
$99 for 300. I think
I was wrong THESE SHORT shells have the same SAMMI spec pressure in chamber as 2 3/4 "
NOT a blackpowder substitute !
