I owned a 30" Damascus GH-16ga which the matting went to the end of the rib. The PGCA letter confirmed the 30" barrels and also explained the matting. The letter stated that the gun was built for stock with 32" barrels. It sat in stock for a couple of years and an order came in for a gun with 30" barrels. Parker took the gun out of stock, cut 2" off and delivered it with the matting going clear to end of the barrels. It also only had about 2 1/2" choke tapers.
It was all factory work done before the gun was delivered.
