Thank You Dean and yes I agree 1/8" doesn't deem cut barrels ! I also wouldn't argue the point at some time in the past 90 or so years the end of the barrels very well could have been cleaned up but there is still no question the Horizontal Cut Line at the end of the barrels is correct and it is not at all uncommon for barrels to be a sixteenth to an eight of an inch short !

…or longer than the records show.

I'm not into the short barrel guns much Russ. Having said that if I owned 106312 you would have one heck of a time getting me to part with that one. Wow what a gun that would be. No doubt you regret that sale.

Yes Randy ,that is one I should have never parted with and the funny thing is ,The Dealer I made the deal with had a nice VHE 410 that I was debating on buying and the Runge BHE Upgrade 410 I did buy ! I could have bought the VHE without trading the 28 and he did his best to tell me If I traded the 28 Gauge I would never have the opportunity to get it back so maybe I should really consider and maybe even reconsider ,I did :rotf:but a year or so later I sort of regret it 12 years later I really regret it !
