Go through the unloading process as usual, even if you believe the gun to be empty already.  With the gun pointing in a safe direction, turn it over and look for the elevator--a lever that moves up and down, located at the receiver. Use your dominant hand to hold the elevator in the up position. Use your non-dominant hand to simultaneously push back on the slide. Any round inside the magazine should naturally eject from the gun through the bottom of the receiver. Make sure that the bolt of the shotgun or the breech face of the gun is closed before you try to measure it.  The length of the barrel for this type of gun does not include the length of the entire barrel piece. Instead, the length is a measurement of the distance between the muzzle end of the barrel and the face of the bolt or breech face when that portion of the gun is closed. Close a bolt by pushing it forward and down. Close a non-bolt breech face by pushing the slide forward. Insert a dowel into the muzzle end of the barrel, pushing it down into the barrel until it stops against the bolt or breech face.  Use a dowel rod with a diameter that is smaller than the diameter of the barrel. If the barrel has a permanent choke tube attached, include that in your length measurement. If it has a removable choke tube attached, remove the choke tube before sliding the dowel into the barrel and do not include the choke tube in your measurement. Draw a line on the dowel rod, placing it just above the muzzle of the gun.  You can use a pencil, pen, or marker to do this. Regardless of the instrument you use, keep the line as close to the muzzle as possible. If the gun is not already lying flat on a working surface, you should lay it down while marking the dowel rod. Doing so will likely make the process easier and safer. Slide the dowel back out of the barrel. Set it down in front of you on your work surface. Set the gun aside. Make sure that it is pointed in a safe direction. Measure the distance between the line on your dowel rod and the end of the dowel rod previously inside the shotgun barrel. This distance is the length of your gun barrel.

One-sentence summary -- Empty the gun. Close the bolt or breech face. Slide an appropriate dowel rod into the barrel. Make a mark just above the muzzle. Carefully remove the dowel rod. Measure the correct distance.

Article: Work slowly and meticulously to remove the fabric from your furniture by pulling out all the staples/tacks/screws that are holding it in place. Use your flat-head screwdriver or butter knife to carefully pull out every staple. Do not cut any of the fabric to remove it, as you will be using the pre-existing fabric as your pattern for the new upholstering fabric.  If you're removing fabric from a couch, you'll need to flip it over and take the fabric off the bottom and back as well. Remove any cushions that might be there, but if they don't have a zipper, you might be able to make a cover for them rather than removing all the current fabric. Side panels of fabric (like on a sofa) may not require fabric removal, because often you can tack your new fabric over the top. Be careful not to cut yourself on the staples or tacks, as these are a very real tetanus threat. Removing the old fabric often exposes the dirty underside of your used furniture; it is best to clean up any messes or dirty areas prior to adding new furniture over the top. For couches, vacuum out the inside of the frame, and spray fabric cleaner onto the cushions and foam to freshen them up. Use a bit of wood oil or cleaner to prepare the wood parts of your furniture, and seal it if necessary.  If your furniture was damaged or scratched, you should take time now to repair it and prep it for new fabric.  If you want to stain or paint the wood on your furniture, you should do so at this point. Lay out all the fabric you removed from you furniture, making sure that you know which piece goes where (or where it went originally). Layer your new upholstery fabric out, and trace the old fabric shapes onto the new. This will serve as your pattern, and allow you to cut out all the necessary pieces for your project. Once you've gotten all the pieces measured/traced, you can very carefully cut out each section, making sure that you mark or keep track of where on the furniture it will be put. Use fabric shears for cutting your fabric, in order to make smooth, clean cuts. Not all of the fabric you upholster will require sewing, in fact typically only cushion and arm covers or pieces of fabric with corners will require any sewing. Use the original fabric as your pattern, and mimic the same sewing pattern with your new fabric. #*Use a thread that will match the fabric, or use a clear plastic thread. If you're able, use a serger along the edges to prevent the fabric from fraying. Work one section at a time, lining up your new fabric with its corresponding location on the furniture. Use your staple gun with staples of the appropriate length to attach the fabric securely to the furniture. Make sure there are no gaps, and fold/tuck the edges of each piece of fabric to give it a smooth finish.  If you need to apply extra layers of batting or cushion, do so prior to re-attaching the fabric. Some fabric will have to be attached using upholstery tacks, but you'll know this based on how the original fabric was attached. When all the fabric has been re-attached to your furniture, you should sew on any piping, buttons, or attach the feet/legs to the bottom of your furniture. This is your chance to make any last-minute changes or to add design details that might not have been on the original piece of furniture. If you decide you're completely finished, give your piece of furniture a once-over to verify that there are no loose threads so-to-speak, and that it's ready to be placed as a permanent fixture in your home.
