What Dylan may have been asking is a photo of the top rib termination, because the photo of the muzzle suggests that, since the barrels are not touching at the muzzle, they may have been cut. The barrel flat shows a Remington repair code. That, and the incorrect checkering pattern on the fore end may be hints that the current fitted barrel may not be original to the gun, and that a barrel, shortened to 26" may have been fitted by Remington. Does the SN stamped on the barrel lug match the SN on the water table? Does it appear altered?
