I'm betting it's been shortened. It's not hard to drop the finished piece into a blue tank and cover that. The rest remains the same.

Thanks Jim. I had thought the same. Maybe an arsenal job with a problem on the crown, that was not worth counter boring or re-barreling. Going back tomorrow and see if there are any re-build marks on it.

No, I mean done by John Q Public. The arsenal or military will rebarrel. The rifles need to remain standard. They don't just buck'er off.
