New-To-Me 20 Ga GH

[Bill Murphy]

Get a PGCA letter to possibly add some information. Not likely you will get much. Why have you not included the serial number so we might give you some assistance?

Further to what Brian has said, if the barrels were originally 28", they were likely to have been choked modified and full. Cutting 3/4" off would not have caused the barrels to substantially diverge, and I would certainly expect they still touch at the muzzle. There will still be measurable choke also.

Gentlemen,

Thank you for your replies. The serial # is 237582. apparently it is a GHE model as it has ejectors.

I'm guessing that it was originally 28", as we measured the chokes today at 17 (right barrel) and 10 thousandths(left barrel). and the choked sections are only about 1/2" long. The gun throws nice patterns and shoots to POI at about 22 yds.

I would love to know why the barrels were shortened by 3/4", but I guess we will never know as the previous owners are no longer with us.

Thanks again for your replies. Although this gun appears to have been altered, I think it will make a nice upland shooter.

It may have been altered but still be a great shooter and congratulations on a gifted GHE 20. Not an easy one to find and a joy to carry. Just enjoy!
