Barrel Measurment?
My Grandfather called me over today, and gave me his Winchester Model 12 Shotgun to add to my collection. The gun was manufactured in 1935, it has "full" choke marked on the bbl, clean, no rust or pitting, and functions smooth as a new one.

My question is;

How do you determine the barrel length?... do you include the part of the barrel that fits along the inside/top of the reciever?

Or, is it measured from the breech to the muzzle?

Thank you for your help with this.

Mike
