The Brush Guns had a shorter stock and 26 inch barrel with a cylinder bore. Riot guns have 20 inch barrels with a cylinder bore. The barrel on the subject gun does look shorter than 20 inches. I would think if it was an original riot gun why would someone go to the trouble of cutting a couple of inches off the barrel? It’s more likely a cut-down Brush Gun.
