Measured 32". Barrels are numbered to the gun. I think it will work great for me as a skeet/trap/dove gun. It doesn't so much bother me about the reblued barrel, whomever did it did a good job - it isn't shiny looking. Plus. I am sure it would cost an arm and a leg to get it back to original? The wood is really dark, can it be brightened a bit?

So if it is in the book I guess I need to letter it.

Awesome! I'm glade the book was wrong. It will be a fine dove gun.

my first go at dirty wood is Murphy's Oil Soap, looks like yours may have added finish but its a good first step


the lower side in this picture has not been cleaned the upper side got a little better after another go.
