First be certain that the gun is unloaded. Check twice. With the firing mechanism cocked (so that firing pin does not protrude into the chamber) insert a wooden dowel that is close to the diameter of the barrel into the barrel from the muzzle, until it rests against the closed face of the action. Mark the dowel at the muzzle. Withdraw the dowel, and measure the length of the dowel. This technique is also used with all other firearms EXCEPT revolvers. Those are measured from the muzzle to the face of the cylinder.
