Being a little larger than a quarter it must be a 10 gauge.

It was along the Conn. River

Only seen a couple pics over the years of shotguns bigger than 10 gauge,(not saying yours is) the duck boats had there barrel mounted to them so they could be big!

Rub some baking soda paste over the top. You will then see what it is.

I would also agree to it being a 10 gauge. If not possibly some type of flare? HH
I don't believe punt guns were used on the Ct, river this far up but I may be wrong?

Seriously looking at the E-TRAC and XP DEUS.

Without dimentions, slightly bigger than the quarter is 8 Gauge. Next size is 4 Gauge and so on up to 000 Gauge. I have 36-32-28-24-20-18-16-14-12-10-8-4-3-2-1 Gauges to measure from. If you can measure the head with something that measures in .001 Inches we can tell for sure. Good find. Clean it a bit and it should be marked as to gauge.

1.030+- .010

It is a 10 gage. Pistol Pete gives some other opcion but tens have been around for a long time and are still used today on waterfowl and a few turkey Hunters.

Well, I hate to change my guess from a 10 gauge to an 8 gauge but here it is. A 10 gauge rim mics at .933 and an 8 gauge rim mics at 1.035.

Ya got an 8 There Chris,
this UMC's rim is 1.02" Etrac is great, but I'd also consider the Deux.
With the saltwater I hunt, the V3I will be my next upgrade. Best Wishes! Herbie
