Inthecountry; it was a big deal to me. It cost me a barrel. I had an old SXS 28" shot gun and it had a bevel(not sure if that is the right word) in the barrel so instead of having it fixed at Browning's gunsmith I sawed it off, but by the time I was finished it was 181/4 inches(just below the bevel) so legal in most states, but illegal in mine. I guess I should have just sprung for the smith opps. Anyone know where or if I can get a new barrel, for an old SXS made in spain for richmond arms? It was made around 1970. I have the serial if that will help? Don't have the model number it was on the barrel I tossed opps, I couldn't find anything about it when I goggeled it.
