To answer your question, if I were to measure dac or dah on a gun with the barrel below the receiver I would lay the gun on it's side and put two spacer blocks of known thickness on either end of the barrel. Then lay your straight edge along the blocks and take your measurements. Then simply subtract the thickness of the spacers and you have your actual measurements. Hope that makes some sense. |
Thanks Larry: Makes perfect sense, just fire up the torch
Lest anyone believe that is my 870, I got lazy and grabbed a google image for illustrative purposes.
Now the opposite issue and then I am armed to tackle the job, if I can remember the combination for the safe. A high vent rib above the receiver. My first assumption is the extended top of the rib is the line from which to take the measurements.
Another google image, much prettier than the old family 870
