2 3/4? Can it take steel shot?

 

[Flubb]

The barrel says 3" chamber, I'm afraid I don't know if it's safe with steel shot, that's usually dependent on chokes right? It's probably okay in the IC barrel but maybe not in the Modified barrel. Definitely DON'T take my word for it though, see if you can find some literature to be sure!

If you can't find anything I'll root around and try to find the manual to see if there's something about steel shot in there.

I believe steel shot issues are mostly with softer barrel steel on older shotguns. I'm not sure what the benefit of steel shot would be in a 20 inch barrelled shotgun, unless you live on a wetland and are afraid of shooting a bad guy and getting a ticket for using lead near waterfowl.

I'll take a look

Might get a wild hair and use it for ducks

As a broad general rule...
It is safe to shoot steel shot from a older fixed choke shotgun if the choke is Modified or more open...

These Rossi Coach guns are fun shooters and work well for unpland game and as rabbit guns.
Good luck with your sale.

Even broader and more general... "usually" the right barrel has a slightly tighter bore than the left for a tighter pattern (front trigger). It wasn't asked, but it's why you should never fire slugs out of a double without verifying the presence of (or lack of) a choke, aka: modified cyl bore.

It's been my experience with fixed choke SXS shotguns that the left barrel is always one constriction tighter than the right. LEFT=FULL. 4 letters each. The front trigger is for the right barrel (mod) and back trigger is for the left (full) on an old Lefever Nitro Special in 20ga, and in a 70's vintage Winchester Model 23 in 12ga that has a barrel selector, the right barrel is still mod and the left full. If that convention has changed, I would be surprised.

On most fixed choked barreled guns, Left barrels, left back trigger usually tighter choked. Right barrel, right front trigger more open choked as Dr strange said.

If only it were the single trigger model.....

I'd like to find one of these in 20 gage; reduced recoil for the two women in my life to handle easier.

 

[Hyak55171]

Still available?

 

[coop44]

I would not hesitate to shoot steel in it. As long as it's not full choked for lead (tighter than steel full choke). Maybe have forcing cones lengthened, a smoother transition from chamber to bore.

Do you still have it? Would you be interested in a keltec sub2k that takes 9mm glock mags and has a few extra 30 magazines?
