Keith, you were dead right. They dont know how to measure.

This is a shortcut to their listing: http://www.gunsinternational.com/guns-fo...un_id=100863629

I measured the barrels and they were 30 inches, not 29 5/8 as in their postings.

The bores measured at 0.725 and 0.730 which they probably left the factory with and the chokes measured 0.10 & 0.20 which matched with Winchester specs and the marked chokes. A replacement front bead and missing middle bead.

The beavertail forend may not be original, but a Cody letter will sort that out. A previous owner messed it up with touch up bluing staining the wood some.

It mounts comfortably and is nicely balanced.

All said after trading some guns, I have a new duck gun. Which I may or may not put Briley tubes in at some point, but over decoys with bismuth may work well enough.
