Hi Folks,
Been a while since I've been on the site. Through circumstance I have aquired a Pedersoli 12 Ga. SxS . I am trying to determine if it has chrome lined bores or not.
As an option, I would like to run some steel shot through it, if in fact they are so lined .Very shiny in there, although it is jug-choked. Curious as to when Pedersoli began to chrome line their guns.
The serial number is : # 22203. That's another thing , cannot seem to find any reference charts for Pedersoli serial #'s. I f any info is out there, I would really appreciate the help. Mnay Thanks.

I don't know when, but all the newer ones with screw in chokes are, and I think some before that.

That said, even if it has chrome bores, the jugchoke sort of negates the fact.

I am certain that it didn't have jugchokes when it left the factory.

None of the Pedersoli's are steel-shot proofed. Lining a bore with chrome has nothing to do with it. See: http://www.davide-pedersoli.com/?lang=en .

Hi,

I have owned a Pedersoli 12ga. for about 10 years now. The bore is chromed and is rated for steel shot by Pedersoli.

That said, I have never been able to drive steel fast enough to make it an effective load for hunting. So I'm using bismuth instead for a no-tox hunting shot.
