Two with Acme barrels - one 34” the other 36”
Of course, there could be more if we extrapolate for missing books. .

"Just" is a word that should never be used in front of 26". Fashion is fashion, and it changes over time. Live long enough and it will all come around again. I have my eye on a nice higher grade lightweight 12 1 frame gun that would take close birds with it's nice 26" barrels.

No I don’t Craig but it’s not Bernie’s stuff. Bernie never mentioned another person from NJ that I can recall.
