Thomas,

I have a 32" DH 10 gauge by the "Book", however it measures 31 15/16" as I remember and no blank space at the end of the barrels??? The gun has more choke than needed to 50 yards. Beyond that the pattern starts to develop...

Thanks Harry: Will be meeting with the gentleman on tuesday and hopefully will be coming home with the g grade. I had purchased a 12ga. g grade about 4 years ago but had sent it to my son in Minnesota. I'm excited about having one for my collection. Have a great day. Thomas L. Benson Sr.
