I have heard that when some barrels were cut that the patterns became erratic. I have one double with barrels that are shorter than the book states the shotgun came with. Just wondering. Happy that you have your shotgun back Mr. Dean.

I've never checked the pattern but for some grazy reason this little gun really reaches out there.
At Addieville about a dozen or so years ago Dave Suponski, with his little Lifter 16 with cut barrels and a straight grip, and I using this little Lifter, tested them one against the other and we were soundly breaking clays out over 40 yards.
Also, to those of you who are familiar with the last big bore station where the clays come sailing off the hiiitop presenting a looong high shot I broke 4 out of six... or was that a four report pair station...? In any case this little sawad-off 16 made a very good showing.
