Hello all!

I have a set of Baker Folsom era barrels with an F suffix in the serial number. Should these match up very well, with fitting, to an older Baker Gun and Forging era gun? I can't find a whole lot of information about changes in receivers and barrel lugs over the years, starting with Baker A and B grades through the Batavia Leader, Black Beauty, and then the Folsom-Era guns. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I thought they were 28", but I just measured them at 30 1/8". They appear as uncut. Daryl Hallquist has informed me that he has seen Folsom barrels fit to Baker G&F receivers, but he also states that Folsom receivers are "slightly" more narrow at the breech as compared to Baker G&F receivers.
