The barrels are an uncut 31" which makes them unusual. As Dean has said, the initials WK on the barrel flats mean that Walter King did the barrels. Walter King was promoted in the 1908 time frame (been reading my books), that suggests that the barrels were done prior to his promotion. The serial number of the gun dates it to 1906. I wonder (as a gentleman named Patrick suggested via e-mail) if the serialization book might have recorded the barrels incorrectly?
