Default Barrels Cut?

Very new to Parkers, so I really don’t know what is right and what is not.

Just inherited a 1890, grade 2 on a number 1 frame, 12 Gage. I had assumed that the barrels were cut outside the factory at some point, but, with what I have read on this site…. I’m not so sure, so need a bit of expert help.

The barrels measure 26 5/8 inches, I know with Winchesters, especially the early ones, would deviate + 5/16 from stated length.

The wedge between the barrels seem intact and tight, and the matting extends to the front sight bead, but not forward of it.

Please help educate a new guy

Thanks
Mike
