Yes, a bit put off, roger. Nothing personal against you at all, but because you make the statement that long barrels are unnecessary. As Ted said, "unnecessary for who?". They may well be unnecessary for you, but for millions of others a short barrel is unnecessary. All those 40 years they were making the 26" skeet guns, remember they were making 30" guns, too. Why? Because people wanted them. One could more easily make the argument that 26" barreled guns were a fad, because the longer barreled guns were more popular before them, and now, after them. I would have been just as put off if you, or anyone else had said that short barreled guns were unnecessary.
I assumed you bought it to turn a buck because you said you "have pretty much stopped shooting shotguns", "it was cheap", and ""going to be tough to get rid of?". My bad if if I made a wrong assumption there. And, I apologize if I came off too harsh. It just bothers me when people say that something someone else favors is unnecessary. That is opinion, only. And this is only mine, as well.
All my best, SRH
