Hello gents,
I imagine you may have seen some guns like this before, this is an old gun owned by a grandpa that a friend of mine got, I was wondering if you could give me any information on it...it is certainly greatly appreciated. The gun barrel was actually shortened, but it was actually redone, it's not simply sawed-off, so gun is more like a coach gun now. I don't know the original length.
I'm just posting links to images because they're quite big and I didn't really want to shrink them down. I don't know if it's possible to post thumbnails.

And I'm pretty sure this recoil pad was put on later:

I did not photograph it, but there is a number inside of the action. When you break open the gun, under the left barrel it says: 79399, and across from that on the reciever inside the action it says X79399.
Those are the only real markings on it.
