Rib Matting Terminations

[10ga Hammer]

Ok, So what accounts for the differences? Are we to assume that PB cut down already assembled barrels to shorter lengths for some orders? When were final bore and choke honeing completed, before or after the ribs were laid?Anyone have Meriden's number?, lets call and find out!

Robert,As Bill has mentioned.I have had a couple of guns that are documented by factory records that the barrels were cut and the gun was shipped within a couple of weeks of the order date.An interesting note about this is that both guns had the barrel keels in place.

Dave, I bet that they still had choke too. I sure wish they were still in business. Whatever you wanted they delivered, and it was "two bucks". No wonder they aren't here today.

Bill,You are correct.In fact if I remember right they had a fair amount of choke.
