Saw this gun at an auction..and got carried away ! Lots of color. Wood has a lot of figure for a Field.Some Bubba must have wanted a "coach" gun...because the barrels are cut at 18" Any orphan barrels out there ?..Thanks..jv

I have a nice set of 16ga FW barrels 28". Mine are older than the marlin era. If your interested post your cell number and I will give you a call.

Jerry. The breech end of the rib, and top rib extension are higher with the SSP rib
