From the book pg. 234.Of the 329,999 model 90s that are in the factory warehouse records, only 117 were sold with barrel lengths longer or shorter than standard 24 inches . Roughly half of these special order guns were sold with barrels longer than standard and the other half shorter than standard. The preferred length of shorter than standard barrel was the 20- and 21- inch lengths .Together these two accounted for 78.3 percent of barrel lengths shorter tan 24 inches. Page 235there is a chart 90-8 that is dealing with special order barrel lengths serial number 1-329,999 3-16", 3-18" 2-19" 25-20" 22-21" 5- 22" 10- 26" 47- 29".
Dean from your serial number range puts it made 3/2 1908 and it makes it a third model and the book says the factory warehouse records do not show that any Third model rifle was sold with special order barrel lengths between serial numbers 322,250and 329,999 . Yours being higher I dont know what to say but I will read on !
