Hello all. Well for better or for worse, here are the photos. What Researcher said: "On most Parker Bros. doubles the rib matting stops about 1/16 to 1/8 inch short of the end of the barrels on unmolested guns. If the rib matting extends to the very muzzle that is a good indictaion the barrels may have been cut." This has me concerned, but not too bad. Even if the barrels are cut, I still got a decent shooter at a decent price. So here are the pics. The last four are barrel muzzle end. Top, Bottom, and two looking straight on.

This was part of my decision to buy the thing. It's often been said here "The heart of the gun is the barrels."
thanks, redoftx
