I have a 1927 Model 94 SRC that has a 19-5/16″ barrel and a ~7-3/4″ forearm. I’m looking for any thoughts on this configuration. As far as I know the barrel is original and has not been cut. The rear sight dovetail is measuring about 2-3/8″ from the receiver and the front sight post is ~1-1/8″ from the muzzle. It’s possible the forearm is a replacement as the fit to the barrel band is not perfect, but it is what was on the gun when I got it. I’ve got a bunch of pictures posted here:

If you scroll down, you’ll see the shape of the gun when I got it. I was given to my dad by a friend as an inside joke. Apparently, it originated from a hunting cabin in Alaska.
