Gunsmithing Shotgun barrel measuring for total lenght

Re: Shotgun barrel measuring for total lenght

ATF, always dropped a rod down mine.

Face of bolt in battery, to end of barrel. If the rod sticks out and you have no paperwork, best to have a get out of jail free card on speed dial. Don't forget local laws either, I was damn near bit by a city in Fla years back, that has a longer barrel requirement than the Feds, within their City limits.

You are right, just spoke to a Police friend of mine and its 18.50, I never knew thats the way they measure, Anyone able to help with the serial number for aging the shotgun
