My snow goose hunting buddies would crap a brick if I had this gun for our spring hunt in Missouri ...

Jim, I also have that gun on my watch list. I wonder if it came out of the factory with those barrels?

Bill, a closer examination of the small picture shows, what I believe to be a sleeve or monobloc line leading me to believe they were made by someone for someone and at that specific length. Gun probably weight 12-14 lb range maybe more.

...or, at 43 1/4" someone could have cut the barrels to open the chokes. I'm just sayin'...
