My barrels are longer than your barrels!!
I was wondering recently, inasmuch as I have some long-barreled handguns, rifles and shotguns - which ones are the longest in my inventory? Well, here are the longer and the longest among them.
HANDGUNS:
Well, this Ruger Mark II has a 10" barrel -
But so does this S&W Perfected single shot -
But first prize goes to this Remington XP-100! Its barrel measures out at 10.8"
RIFLES:
Both these Remington 700 and Ruger 77 rifles have 26" barrels -
This little Winchester Model 67 single shot has a 27" barrel -
The Winchester Model 75 Target rifle has a 28" barrel -
But the winner is a Russki - a Mosin-Nagant sniper rifle with a 29" barrel!
SHOTGUNS:
Well, the winner here (and overall champ in my inventory) is this Remington Model 870 TB Trap gun! It has a 30" barrel!
I did not include some Civil War black powder rifles with longer barrels - I limited this to fairly modern firearms.
Do you have anything longer in any of these 3 categories??

Shouldn't that model have factory training wheels installed?

I had a bolt action Marlin goose gun years ago. It had a 36" barrel, 3 shot capacity and the total length of the gun was 56 3/4". Total weight was 8lbs. I couldn't find a gun case long enough for it so my wife made one out of an old chenille bedspread. Ha those were the days

If we count things like the Contender or Encore single shot pistols there are lots of long barreled pistols. This is a 12" 500 Magnum. I have others in the 15"-16" area, just no photographed. Besides I like the way this 500 looks
In semi-auto pistols, I have one of the 10 1/2" Long Slide LAR Grizzlys with barrels for both 45 Winchester Magnum and 45/357 GWM. LAR only made 20 of these in the hard chrome finish
I need to do a new picture
Rifles? My 50BMG has a 34" barrel, it even shoots good with surplus FMJ
Shotguns? I have nothing beyond the standard 24" or 26" stuff. I always wante an Ithica 10 Gauge and that would have had a long barrel.

Nice guns! I have heard...It's whatcha DO with whatcha got, never mind how much you got!
I once had a neighbor who had a DAN WESSON revolver with a 12" barrel. There were other factors, but neighbors and I had a couple of theories about that!

Iowa class Battleships had nine, 16 inch guns with 800 inch barrels. Each barrel essentially shot a Cadillac.

Sixty years ago, when I was young and painfully thin and very stupid, I borrowed an elderly 32" twelve gauge side-by-side hammer gun, choked full and full. No idea who made the damn thing, but at least I knew enough to be sure the barrels weren't Damascus. It had a narrow curved steel buttplate.
I wanted to see how it patterned with high-brass #6 birdshot.
Now, I knew better. I really did. But as I said, I was pretty stupid.
Wearing a T-shirt over my bony frame I aimed it at the side of an abandoned barn, and just for the unbridled hell of it, cocked both hammers. Of course it doubled, crunching the steel buttplate into my shoulder and nearly giving me whiplash to go with the bruise the color of a ripe eggplant.
Ah, youth.
Sorry about the thread drift, but this talk of long barrels put me back in time.
Carry on.

At 11, I fired my first 12 gage. An old double. Backed up to a tree so it wouldn't knock me over. I got the eggplant bruise too. I think my father laughed for a week.

When I was younger I always bought the longest barrels on
handguns offered. Then I found I could shoot 6-61/2" guns
just as well.
Shot guns were super long super full choke or cut down so
they burnt your eyebrows. Never had any use for anything
in between.
Rifles, barrel length was not a big thing as long as the gun
shot well. Rifles seem to always be more beused on the
individual gun, than barrel length.

The longest I've got, and the longest I've ever owned is my fathers Sears-Roebuck 12 ga. pump, with a 30" full choke barrel. Actually a pretty common barrel length when I was younger.
It was my fathers turkey shoot gun. I don't guess it ever got used for anything else.
He also had a single-shot, break top 12 gauge, that I guess was a Harrington and Richardson, or maybe a Sears brand. I've forgotten now, but it had a 36" barrel. Another turkey shoot gun. It was supposed to be mine also, but when my mother went to find it, it had apparently "run away" after my father died.

I did something similar. I bought a hammerless 12 ga Knickenbocker double for $2. It had the barrels, the action and the fore stock. No butt stock. I made one out of two pine boards glued together.
I went rabbit hunting with some friends. Didn't see any bunnies, so the way back, I decided to shoot a pine cone out of a tree. Yep, it doubled. I wasn't skinny, but it still hurt like heck.
I went home and took out the side locks. The internals were shot. I disabled one lock and carried it as a big, heavy single shot. Years later, I gave it to a friend. His daddy had a Knickenbocker that he wanted restored and the gunsmith used parts from mine to fix his daddy's gun.
Oh, it had 30" barrels.
