Don't need to be confusing. I still can't hit anything with the 26" IC/M. with the gunsmith's assistance I believe the IC/M barrels are choked correctly and there's no issue with the POI. Also had the gun stock measured and compared to my 20ga. Repro and found the 28ga. stock measurements to be similar to the 20ga. As my father always told me about my shooting ills that "its not the arrow but the Indian".
Since I hit more clays and live birds with the 28" M/F barrel than the 26" IC/M my gunsmith has summized that my shooting technique is different with each barrel. It seems I swing faster and not as smoothly with the shorter barrels than with the 28" barrels. The added weight of the 28" helps my swing too. I am having the 28" M/F barrels opened up to more conventional 28ga. chokes of .013"/.027" than the current chokes of .020"/.045. I'll be keeping the 26" barrels in the case.
