Sorry folks; this is the best I can do.
And TM, thanks for your very sound advice. I knew it once I actually looked at the gun and realized what I saw, even if I didn't want it to be true! What a shame; such a lovely gun!
But here's the thing: I'm not a real trap shooter, what little I do shoot is to improve the chances that I might actually hit a bird or two come fall. Still, I've always loved those SBT's, and the romance of the image of me pulling up at the club in necktie and fedora, opening up my leg o' mutton case, setting up my single barrel, and blasting a few clays into oblivion. And with that in mind, I tried to convince myself that, at the right price, maybe I could live with the short barrel. Sigh.
