Nitro Special and N.I.D. are pretty much the same internally but NS has a longer frame. I have never held an "A", but in photos they look like a short receiver gun. Maybe someday I will see one up close. Gun shows here don't have many doubles, or anything else interesting.

Well, some of the work is done on this gun already. Forcing cones are very long and chamber has been extended from 2 5/8" (measured) to 2 3/4". The stock now fits me. The stock was pretty close to begin with. I did my "whittling" with an 1/8" thick flexible sanding pad and 40 grit paper and the job only took 15 minutes. Now I need to convert it to straight grip and replace the rock hard recoil pad. I see a beavertail forend in it's future as well.
