Thanks for the response Dean & Mike,

Dean,
The barrels length check as original on both at 30". Unfortunately I don't have a barrel wall measuring device, too the naked eye, the inside of the barrels look good, not that they shine like a mirror their complete length, but good.

I am not a dealer by any means, only a shooter/collector. I have seen Jon Hosford's barrel wall gauge and choke gauge in use and would love to own them but I just didn't think I could justify with not more than I would use them. I do own one of Jon Hosford's gun racks and I appreciate his great American craftsmanship.

Are there other measuring tools that are less expensive for a shooter who can't justify the price of Jon's nice tools? I even hate to ask that question since I hate cheap tools.

Mike, the dimensions on both guns are almost identical.

Thanks,
Stan
