I was in a well-known gun shop a while back looking at a Parker Bros. gun. The clerk asked if he could help me and I mentioned that the barrels on the gun appeared to have been cut. He said, "Well, you know, those Parkers are made in England, and they use centimeters there instead of inches, so it's hard to tell if they've been cut." I have to admit I had no come back.
