This is my VH that I had posted about a while back.
It has been my understanding based on limited knowledge that rib matting did not go to the end of the barrel. However, I have seen more than one reference to matting actually doing just that and if you look careful it seems as though the very end was matted separately. Before anyone jumps on me for trying to convince myself that this is original I am not. That is why I am asking the question. The butt has been altered as well as refinished and there are a few more condition issues. That being said, I am interested in lettering this if there is a chance these are factory length barrels.
Thanks
