1899 Carbine 348xxx

[METT-T]

I came up with 22" via the described method yesterday. I'll remeasure, but I think regardless you're spot on. The shoulder between the crown and the barrel is more abrupt than anything I've been able to find in photos and there's a sharp edge you can feel. The Armory cut appears to be slightly radiused in all the pictures I can find.

Seems a little unique in that whomever did this, either removing the barrel band and installing the front sight or starting from scratch with a rifle barrel, took pains to make it look "originalish" many decades ago. Either way would've meant cutting a new dovetail, right?
