You folks are wonderful, thank you! I think this gun now measures 14-inches with the pad, so it may not have been cut. Any suggestions as to what it had originally? Like maybe that black Winchester plate my 1919 has? This gun has had far-better care than my 1919 16-bore and looks little used. I think it is marked full choke. The only other modification I noticed was a safety button that was much larger than what I expected. I have been told it that it is likely a Marble's aftermarket, but it works perfectly. FWIW, I bought the gun because it was so cheap ($200) and also because I could just walk out the door with it. Here in Colorado, our waiting list to get a background check done is over 10-days now. So much for "instant". Our 2nd Amendment rights are in dire shape here, whith no good news forthcoming it seems.
