I thought the barrel looked short too. Bill you might be thinking of Orphan Annie which I bought with a 27-3/4" barrel. The gun books as a 34-incher and the numbers all match on the gun so the assumption has always been that the barrel was cut, but as per my piece in a recent Parker Pages, the choke measures as Full. It would really be something if Annie was that gun and had custom work done or a new barrel made for it at some point
