	Short of slugging the bore is there anyway to tell if a No.1 Sporter is 40-50 straight or 40-50 bottle neck?

	You should be able to tell by looking down the bore. you might have to fiddle with the light source.

	Here's a diagram of the 40-50 Sharps Straight. Do a chamber cast and if it doesn't match - you have a 40-50 bottleneck (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)

	Look in the chamber. The Straight is a straight wall chamber and the Bottleneck is a bottleneck in the chamber.
