Default How rare?

How rare is it to find a 16ga PH with factory 22" barrels? I came across one today with a letter, the gun must have weighed 5 to 6 lbs.

All but unheard of. Is it a PGCA letter?

But if it letters to 22. It was done at the factory

Probably the only one made in that particular configuration.

That's why I'm asking who wrote the letter.

Well in TPS the shortest 16 gauge gun is 23" for a grade 1 hammerless with twist barrels and 26" for a fluid steel PH .

Unfortunately we're in Downeast Maine, high quality doubles around here are made in Turkey. They want 2000.00 little high for most incomes.
