I can't see the barrel ends all that well in your photo, but it looks like they are there. It is worth noting that Parker chokes can be quite long, sometimes measuring out 3+ inches, so barrels cut two inches can still exhibit some choke. If you know how long the taper is, that's another clue.

Thanks I will look into it, I don't have the tools for that handy at the moment. It may not be a definitive clue but the balance of the gun is still precisely on the hinge pin.

I should have included in the original post that this gun is already an enigma, with the research letter stating 26" barrels but I came into possession of it with 28, for whatever the reason. I was mainly looking for knowledge regarding rib matting termination, and it seems I have found it.

thanks!
