I have a 1925 12ga VH in very decent condition with 27 3/4" barrels, keels in place and barrels touching, choked .015 and .025. The rib milling stops before the muzzle but the bead seems to be a little closer to the muzzle than my other Parkers. PGCA letter says barrels were 28". I always thought somebody cleaned up a boogered muzzle. It's a great handling and shooting shotgun that hasn't gone hunting very much for many years and the few times I have taken it hunting I have said to myself, wow this thing works and shoots fantastic, I should use it more and then I don't because of other choices in the gun rack. So in summary I would simply shoot and enjoy your gun and not worry too much about it.
