Reggie: Old time condition collectors tell me back in the early days of collecting they cared very little about dimensions--it was all about condition condition. Few were shooting vintage SxS's frequently.
With advent of collector associations, vintage SxS competitions, low pressure ammo, and SxS centric publications etc. collectors today are more focused on fit and shooting.
I shoot most of my vintage SxS's but I do have a few high condition bench mark guns. With bench mark guns it's all about condition for me.
