Thanks for the reply OLN fan,

I have acquired a winchester 1897 " E " sn range ( I believe birthyear of around 1909 ) that would look cool with a heat shield on it. The barrell lenth is about 18 1/2 inches. This wasnt the original barrell length, it has been cut down with a choke added to the inside of the barrell. Any way or determining what the original barrell length was on this?

Was just wondering if it would work. Has anyone added a heatshield with out any modifications being made? Thanks again.
