Bruce, I'm curious about the 24" barrels, as they might compare to longer assembled barrels. If you were to take a dimension at the muzzle of 24" barrels, how does that compare to the 24" mark on the 32" barrels? Similarly, how does the terminal end of the 24" rib compare to the 24" mark of the 32" barrels?
One would assume the factory did not keep barrels tubes of different tapers in anticipation of finished lengths, and as the tubes would be touching at the muzzle of the 24" barrels, and significantly separated if they were barrels subsequently cut to 24", the tapers must therefore be more dramatic on the 24" gun (which, I might add, is one killer of a gun)
