Factory Cut and Re-bored Barrels

[Dean Romig]

It doesn't matter a bit if the keels are present or if the matting runs off the end of the rib.... The letter clearly indicates the fact that the barrels were shortened at the factory.

i have a 28 gauge that started life with 28" barrels but the factory records show that it was originally ordered with 24" barrels, which it now has. The keels were replaced but the matting runs off the end of the rib.

I get that Dean but I to am curious just to see how PB did the work. Did they just cut them and let it go there or did they take the time to add the terminal line. Nothing more than a matter of pure curiosity.

I understand but was wondering if they did anything to the matting thats why I asked the question Im not doubting the letter. Dean does your letter say it was returned to be cut or what did it do set in inventory with 28" barrels and someone wanted a 24" 28 gauge ?
