Michael300970 Posted February 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2023 This is a right handed shotgun Apologies but I’m not sure where you would like me to measure from the back trigger to the butt plate ? Please advise so I can oblige Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamekeeper1960 Posted February 20, 2023 Report Share Posted February 20, 2023 Hi Michael, the distance from front trigger to middle of butt pad ...also do you know how it's choked...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael300970 Posted February 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2023 This is a right handed shotgun Stock length is 14 1/2” I have no way of measuring chokes but I would imagine Dad would have had 1/4 and 1/2 or something similar would consider Air Gun or Air Pistol as part exchange on this ( no FAC no precharged) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear68 Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 That's a really nice looking gun. Are the barrels clean and free of pitting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael300970 Posted February 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2023 Yes the barrels are clean and shiny no pitting. My late father drilled into me the luxury of owning a shotgun and the need to look after them. Sorry for the slow response Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
