First welcome to Greybeards forum. It's a great place.
 
You might ask in the Shotgun forum: http://www.gboreloaded.com/forums/index.php?board=40.0
It would probably help if you had picture you could post along with it.

I tried to post the picture but it says I can't.  Is there a picture size limit?

Welcome to GBO. This is a great place. Pull up a chair and sit a spell.
 
Hope you are able to identify that shotgun.

Take the picture into Photoshop or Photoshop Elements and it is relativly easy to downsize the image so you can e-mail it or import it to this site or any other site.  Photoshop elements is a very simplified version of Photoshop and is a reasonable and easy software to use.  Hope this helps.  Most modern Camera's create the image in a large enough pixels size it takes forever to download them or send them in their current size.
