Take a look to see if it marked for the choke constriction.
Most riot guns are cylinder while longer barreled field guns have a tighter choke and are marked accordingly.

Back then, most "riot" shotguns didn't have checkering on the stock or fore end or any commercial type features.
As above, check the barrel for a choke mark. If it's anything other then Cylinder Bore it's probably a cut-down.

wish I could get a picture of it up (sd card slot in the tower isn't working) may have to settle for a cell phone pic. The barrel isn't marked, and from what I can tell all of the model 120 (or 1200 
) flight kings have the corn cob Winchester style pump handles.
It only holds 6 shells, the barrel is 18" if I'm measuring it right. looks exactly like this one except no sights, just a front bead And mine is in much better shape. There's a heat shield on it, fits very well like it was made for it but defiantly looks after market.
also, using the old dime trick.....it drops freely through the muzzle

"Riot" guns of the day were equipped with only a simple/small brass bead front sight, screwed or pressed directly into the top of the barrel near the muzzle - which is not to say an acomplished chopper didn't install a bead aterwards.
No bead front sight = kitchen table chop job.
Rifle sights on a shotgun were unheard of on riot guns until about the early 1970's, when the factories supplied the demand for a "deer gun". ("Slug guns" came even/much later)
