"Shapes of things before my eyes." Ok, so the rest of the lyrics are bad, that first line is catchy.

Andiarisaka, a shapes observation. I get one out of the blue thought per day. This is today's:

The bulk of the 1892s were altered after the receiver/barrel end shape change. A "late" rounded barrel should screw in to a "non-fillet" receiver without problem. In the other direction it would likely take more torque than I could apply. With a sledgehammer. The receiver would likely fracture anyway.

The 1892 receivers have non-fillet receivers. I wonder if some have "rounded end" barrels? They should fit. Why make two styles? No point to that. Why don't you unscrew all of your barrels and find out?

One of these days I am going to buy meself a receiver and barrel removal sets me thinks. I have a rummage sale gun I abuse often.
