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??

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
 
long barrel

12 inch barrel by A O Niedner [famous gunsmith] with thr Pope style "Olympic" chamber, on a Belgian copy of the Stevens Lord pistol, 22lr, made by D J Counet, and real ebony wood grips.

Ok I have to know...what is the story with the double Taurus barrel
 
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.
