Just acquired a "Forehand" 12Ga shotgun mfg by Hockins & Allen Arms Co around 1902. Is there a way from the barrel to tell if it was designed to shoot Black Powder or more modern shells? From my research I have not found the answer and there is nothing on the barrel to indicate anything. There are no plans on shooting the gun because of its age, I am just trying to collect information. I found it interesting that the guy that started the Ethan Allen Furniture company was involved in this company as well.
Thanks
