I've noticed more than one Guide gun with that extended magazine tube, but I haven't been able to find anything more about it online. Anyone have a link?
I just picked up a beauty of a 1895 guide gun today. Price was 469.00 but I traded away two guns (henry .22, ruger .17) I had no real intention of using and paid only 60 bucks out of pocket for it. I was happy with the trade.
