One of my SC 20 gauge singles has a Cutts Compensator barrel as a mismatched extra barrel. Makes me cry too, except that the gun was probably owned by Colonel Cutts, a person important in shotgun history. The gun letters as a 20 gauge, but the Cutts barrel and another 12 gauge barrel are all that survive. Colonel Cutts experimented with all kinds of single barrels on which he could install his compensator. He probably destroyed the original 20 gauge SC barrel in one of his experiments. It's out there somewhere. The gun was found in Maryland, near Colonel Cutts' home.
