I do not think the gun has been in turnbulls shop.
Many people who do not know any better see new case colors and just assume turnbull. Not the case.

not saying your wrong just stating I have sent a note to Turnbull to confirm if what I was told is true or not, also with all do respect I have read hundreds of post and noticed if you didn't do the work you only have negative things to say about other peoples shotguns that's sad.

What Dylan may have been asking is a photo of the top rib termination, because the photo of the muzzle suggests that, since the barrels are not touching at the muzzle, they may have been cut. The barrel flat shows a Remington repair code. That, and the incorrect checkering pattern on the fore end may be hints that the current fitted barrel may not be original to the gun, and that a barrel, shortened to 26" may have been fitted by Remington. Does the SN stamped on the barrel lug match the SN on the water table? Does it appear altered?

Beautiful gun. Shoot it and enjoy! Don't worry about anyone else's opinion. If you shoot it well and it makes you smile, that's all that matters!

not saying it hasn't been cut but the books say it was shipped with 26 inch barrels, I added a photo of the serial number on barrels, Thanks

Wedges are the triangular shaped metal fitted under the rib above (and below) where the barrels touch.

The serial numbers all match so its probably safe to assume the barrels are the oiginal barrels.
