They were actually a pain in the butt to manage because I was always worried about hitting the ground/ concrete with them. I’ll try to find a couple photos of the gun.
Ive seen people carry sxs/o/u's with the barrels broke open and the buttstock over their shoulder with the barrels facing down . Might be a better way to carry these long guns . I know with 32" barrels I would have to watch the doorway when taking the guns outside as to not hit the muzzles .
