Longchalk Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 OK, maybe a dumb*** question but........Does the advertised barrel length - 26, 28, 30" - include the bare metal tang that slots inside the action? Or does it just refer to the external, blackened part of the barrel? .... In which case how long is the barrel piece in its entirety? Am just trying to figure out if I can fit a 28" version in my breakdown cabinet. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimLondon Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 The measurement will include the bare metal tang and extended choke if applicable Hope it helps Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy H Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 It's measured from the muzzle to the line where the rear face of the cartridge sit's when loaded ,With the action closed insert a tape measure down the barrel until it stops at the breech face.

DreadedFlapper Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 I don't know what make your breakdown cabinet is? But I had a Bratton sound 2 gun breakdown and my 28" hatsan barrel wouldn't fit!!! So I had to buy a bigger cabinet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveyTed Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Overall gun lengths are given on Hatsan's website. Remember the new guns have extended chokes and a 28in semi is roughly the length of a 30in O/U. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longchalk Posted April 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) My breakdown cabinet is unbranded, and looks like it is made fom old Russian tanks. I don't really have space for full length one though. The space diagonally through the door and back into the cabinet, that being the maxmum distance I have got to play with when inserting the barrel in order to "turn it through the angle" is about 30.5" Inside its around 32" long. Hence I was trying to figure out how long a 28" barrel component really is, warts and all. Edited April 10, 2014 by Longchalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadedFlapper Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Just got the tape out!! Barrel with external choke= 32 1/4" Barrel without choke = 31 1/2" Receiver and stock = 34" Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longchalk Posted April 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Dreadflapper....that's brilliant. Just what I needed. Cheers mate. No point me buying one if I can't fit the stock and receiver in the cabinet then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
