Here's a direct link:

Appears that either the book or the description is wrong.

If the barrels are not cut, that is a pretty honest looking gun!

Picture of the end of the rib would be a clue. A PGCA letter would compare the order book entry with the stock book entry. The stock book entry may be different from the order book entry. The stock book entry is later than the order book entry and may be the configuration of the finished gun. I believe the seller purpously neglected to picture the end of the rib when he advertised the gun.

Kenny don't jump to conclusions. The Book can be wrong and as Murphy said, the order and stock books over-rule. Plus, they may not be the FIRST set of barrels the gun had.
Good job bidding.

Thanks Guys....I called seller and have a return option, I paid with C/C and its on the way. Seller got the gun in hand, the top rib matting goes all the way to the end....)-: he says it looks good enough to be factory work so at the price I will look it over in person. It may have just the right choke for grouse. I plan to check her over good and pattern it. If all is well, keep it and look for some 1 frame 16ga. 28" M/F ejector barrels for it. I think if the barrels had been correct length it would be worth way more than 3K, maybe about 8K! Big thanks ...SXS ohio

It may be the perfect grouse gun for you Kenny, but how does rib matting that goes all the way to the end look good enough to be factory work?
