Sounds like my own most recent (and ONLY bad) GunBroker experience. I buy Remington model 17s whenever I see a good one at a decent price. This one was clearly described as having 28" barrels marked Modified choke. It showed up with a 30" Full choke barrel numbered to the action. The gun is clearly the one pictured in the ad. I contacted the seller to see if maybe he had the 28 inch barrel he advertized...no response. Any of you long barrel fans out there want to swap a good 26" IC Model 17 for my new 'Long Tom'?...Geo
