it has a smoothbore left hand barrel but fully rifled in the right hand barrel with a 3" chamber. It has a right hand twist with deep rifling
be careful , if it realy have a 3" long chamber this was probably not made for the modern high pressure 3" loads
such 3" chamber were used most times for clay pigeon guns in the old blackpowder times to get more powder and shot into the case.
if your gun is otherwise in good shape and NITRO proofed there is no reason you dont try any modern slug load so long its not fin stabilised. such slugs are realy designed for flying without a thist!
you dont mention the gauge - its a 12ga? sabot slugs will work maybe better than brennecke style slugs.
pics of the gun and proof marks will be nice, if necessary I will help you to post it
