Actually, Russ contacted me, telling me it was his gun, and filled me in on the details. I didn't contact the seller since I was interested in the historical aspect of the gun and had no idea at that point if the seller was really knowledgeable or not. I presented the facts in the original post in an effort to explain my question. I don't remember expressing any doubts. The barrels were obviously original in my mind due to the finish of the rib at the muzzle. What I didn't know was if there was ever a record of this being a normal sales practice (customizing barrel lengths). I have recieved several positive responses so apparently it certainly occured occasionally. I was the first mention of this I could remember seeing anywhere and was curious.
