26 1/4" barrels?

[tom tutwiler]

Update. Got the gun and decided before I did anything else to take it up for inspection by my smith in Pa. Barrels are indeed 26 1/4". Chokes are circa 4" long and the gun apparently was ordered reverse choked. Right Barrel is .035 and left is .023. No clue why as per Dan they don't appear to have been messed with. Gun weighs 7 lb 3 oz and the min barrel wall thickness is .039. Still needs to be stripped and clean internally, but I did use a rag and Ballistol and remove lots of crud. I'll take a few more better pictures when the weather is nice and post them. That said, its safe to say this gun certainly is in pretty decent shape overall and would seem to make a pretty good Turkey gun this spring with RST loads. PS. Gun was made in 1917 and the chambers are 2 3/4".
