Katahdin length
« on: March 29, 2009, 07:28:55 AM »
I think that there are/were 2 lengths

1) 20" SS with no brake
2) 18" blued including a brake

Any thoughts on what was more desirable and why?

    Having an 18" braked version in 45-70 and a 20" 12ga turkey barrel version, I think the 20" lenght is preferable(at least to me).  I'm quite fond of my little cannon, but if i could perform magic I would make the brake go away and the length extend to 20".  I've always been tempted to whack off the brake and have a full bull 16.5" pistol barrel.  Oh yea.....where is my saw........... ;D ;D :D ;D ;D Walt
