Liege United Arms 12 ga. sxs help

[kjay]

Need help identifying wherether or not this gun shoots 2 3/4 shells. The bottom side of the barrels have been marked 12.7 which leads me to think they are not 2 3/4 and could be 2.5.

The gun has le centaure marked on both barrels. I will try and post pictures of te Markings soon.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Kris

12-70 (usually inside a large C) would be the expected stamping for the nominal bore, and chamber length in mm (since about 1925). It's always a good idea with older SXS guns to get the chambers and bores measured, to see how they conform to the proof marks, and whether or not they are still in proof (reasonably safe to shoot). A competent gunsmith familiar with SXS guns should be able to do this for you, and tell you what ammunition loads you should be using.
Pics are needed.
