John,
Don't take this the wrong way when I say, "I don't interpret what they meant, I just write what is written." The note is abbreviated Lt. and also "short stock."
The Lt if it refers to light, could refer to the total weight if 5 lbs 11 oz is light for a 28ga. It could also mean to use a small frame size. I don't know what is considered a light weight 28ga. It could also mean light colored wood. 13 3/4" is on the short side but not overly so.
Hopefully others will chime in.
P.S. I sent you an e-mail to your e-mail on record with the PGCA.
Chuck
