Default What the correct stocks can do!!

It can make a world of difference!!
This one is from 1902.
See the pics below.

How uncommon is the 6" version of the .38DA?

Best,
Charles

I like the long barreled top-breaks and have a couple 38 DA 6" guns. Using the SWCA database, 10% of the entries are 38s with 6" barrels, while over half of all made were 3.25" barrels, with 18% 4" and 13% 5".

The SCSW book makes only a note of a slight premium for 6" barrels in the 2nd Model and no mention made in the other models. 8' and 10" barrels are the rare options for this model.
