Believe they kept them in inventory into the 1920's?

Interesting. Is it a WW2 dated barrel?

[Chuckindenver]

no, like many of the ones rebarreld it had a Winchester marked barrel, another note, barrel wasnt very tight, could have removed it with gloved hands...
have seen a few 03,s like this, but never a 17, most of them seemed to have had a Gorilla install them.
