Kurt, if there is a record for your gun, it would likely specify the barrel length.

I don't own the gun if you read my first post you will see that i asked about the barrel to try and learn, if they are not cut as the seller says then they are a very special set of barrels.

Kurt, I did read your first post. If you can get good photos of the barrel ends, it might get you an opinion. You don’t need to own the gun to get a letter, and it could save you money in the end. I’ve gotten letters on guns I was interested in at auctions. The peace of mind is worth it.

This is Rich Flanders old 16 ga that he hunted grouse with for many years. The cut barrels gave open patterns that were perfect for close conditions. I have shot the gun and used it to kill a porcupine after it quilled one of the young dogs.

I read your first post and "Yes". A PGCA letter is $40.00 and a Serialization Book is about $30.00. Either one will confirm that the gun left the factory with 28" barrels.

Edgar, just to let you know that 16 ga is still going strong and I won't make your mistake.
