Where do you measure to determine the barrel length? I bought a used SBE II that should have been a 28", but it's only about 1/4" longer than buddy's 26". If I measure from where the brass end of the shell to the end of the barrel, it measures 25". The overall length of the gun is about 1" shorter than my Remington 870 28", that I bought new.

I found the pin, and it slides freely in and out. I'm going to read the manual, then take it back to the gunsmith to fix. I would agree that something got lost or maybe it wasn't reassembled correctly. I have't broken it down yet, but it looks like I will in the near future.

Is it possible to shoot two rounds of trap without the trigger group pin? I had to take my SBE II to the gunsmith, to have the safety worked on - it was very hard to push. After getting it back, I didn't notice if the trigger group pin was in or not. I shot two rounds of trap today, and when I got home, I was cleaning it, and noticed the pin was not there. I'll call the gunsmith tomorrow, but I'm sure that he'll say it put it back in. I would think that if the pin came out when I was shooting, I would have noticed it.
