I don't have the guns with me as I write this, but do you think the 12 and 16 buttplates could be switched? The guns have been together forever.
About the barrel length--I wonder why someone would only cut two inches off? I'm assuming the sighting bead would have to be removed and the mid-rib drilled and tapped to relocate it? I've seen other pictures of guns that look about the same in albums on here, but they never mention that the barrels have been cut down. I would think these should be cylinder bore if they're cut down, but the one that is perfectly round matches the chart for Improved Cylinder--how is this possible? Sorry, I'm new at this.
Thanks for the feedback. It's greatly appreciated.
