What length are the barrels? The mention of "Cowboy Action Shooting" sends shivers through the membership here for all the perfectly good shotguns that have been ruined by barrel whacking for CAS!!

Yeah, some of those people are idiots. I have been shooting SASS for 30+ years, but I have too much respect for old guns to cut them down. It’s a fun game and extra fun to shoot with old stuff. A few years back a friend and I were at a shoot using BP loads in real cavalry and artillery models. It kind of freaked people out. With a couple of notable exceptions, I don't own anything I would not shoot and, in my experience, more guns are destroyed by neglect than use. So I use them.

The barrels are 28 inch and when hung and tapped they ring with no buzz (once I taped the extractor). I like a 26 in better, but 28 is fine.
