Larger frame shorter barrels

[Mills]

One of my 4 frame 10's has 30" barrels which seem short for the frame size.

I’ve got a two frame EH that left the factory with 28” barrels and it feels pretty good . I’ve also got a two frame 10 gauge top lever that left the factory with two sets of barrels of which the shorter set are original at 26” and it feels pretty good as well .

I think they made about a dozen or so EH 10’s with 26” barrels and half a dozen or so with 24” barrels . I would assume all were on #2 frames as none have ever been in my hands and dunno if any of them still exist , but I’d like to have one of each .

I’ve got a DH 12 with 28” original barrels that’s on a 3 frame . It feels okay all be it a slight bit bulky .

My 4’s are 32 and 34 inches which I think would be more realistic . Although I’d surely not turn down a 30 inch gun that’s original .
