Bob, As you can see I left off a number and also thought the number one was a slash. Excuse the shakey pictures, I hope from the pic you can tell what model it is.
Ed,
Did you determine what the barrel length is?

Ed,
Thanks for your effort. I added to the survey. Its a third model. You can tell from the rail on the top of the receiver is part of the receiver. 2nd models the rail is screwed to the receiver and first models does not have the rail.

Bob thanks for having some patience with me on this. These lever guns are somewhat new to me. A lot of models with many variations.
Ed
Ed,
Do you have Madis’s The Winchester Book? That was the first book I started with. It my not be 100% correct but it covers a lot of models and will get you the big picture.

Bob, my interest is mainly in drop lock rifles. I have picked up 3 Winchester lever guns in the past couple of years, which as sparked my interest in them.
Thanks for the reference on the Winchester lever guns, I will keep my eyes open for a copy.
