Did you have the barrels cut down or did they come that length?

Old post I know but just pick one up and curious if patterned any with it yet. Your post is the first youth model with 20" barrels that I've seen.

A little updating
Changed it up a little. I wanted something a little different from everyone else's gun. Took off the wrap off the stock, sanded the stain, and restrained it with a greener stain and distressed it some. Still thinking about what's next for it. I have too much time on my hands

Don't get me wrong, I do too. I just wanted something a little different than anyone else's. I'm really digging it. I got it out this morning since it's all dry and cured now. I love it. The ultra flat top coat really looks good.

The weathered stain looks amazing!
You care to explain the process? Did you remove the finish with a stripper or just sand it? If sanded, how did you get the finish off the checkering? After the stain, how did you weather it?

How long is the barrels? Kind of looks like a "coach gun".

I sanded the original stain off with 80grit, then 120grit and then 240 grit. Then I wet it down, heat gun dried, and then dry wiped it off. I then applied the stain and let it set over night. I started sanding it again in the morning lightly with 240 grit on the high points to get it worn looking , cleaned it, and then did a top coat. I may have sanded a little too hard on some of the checkering. I wasn't too worried about it.

"Coach gun" is a term used to describe a Side by side shotgun used to guard astagecoach. Just a short barrel shotgun.
