Several inches long is news to me.

Why would Parker, or any other maker, use keels to fill in the gaps at the muzzles, that were several inches long? Would that not suggest that the makers were anticipating someone, down the road, shortening the barrels?

The keels I have taken out by melting the solder and removing the ribs were only 1/8" "long" at most.
