I’m agnostic when it comes to a barrel length of either 26” or 28”.. is 2” really going to make a difference? I think the idea some people have of that extra 2” getting caught on something is pretty funny. If I’m in that thick of cover for that to happen it’s either going to or not.

As far as aesthetics though, I don’t care for 26” in a 12 gauge. The proportions just look wrong and it looks bulky. MO of course.

I wouldn’t let those barrels stop me from buying this if the price was cheap enough and I was in the market.. But yeah, no collector value really and the price would have to be a lot less.
