Thanks for spotting this.
Given the tap holes in barrel – I’m assuming this one utilized a M1895 carbine or musket barrel?
On this topic, I was contemplating that variation of the 94/95 Hybrid with the 22 inch barrel and the magazine that is a couple inch shorter than the barrel. Given they reworked the ’95 barrels to match a ’94 carbine barrel profile, and they shortened and rechambered them from the breech end, why have this odd variation? I would assume given they were repurposing ’95 barrels to produce ’94 carbines, wouldn’t they want that ’94 carbine to look like their standard ’94 carbine? And of course, that’s what they basically did with the other three variations of the 94/95 Hybrid – those don’t appear blatantly different from a standard ’94 carbine. I suspect most have gone unnoticed over the years. Not so with the variation I am mentioning. Thoughts?

Steve,
Not being anywhere an expert on these, but I assumed it was a 1st variation of a carbine barrel, without digging into it too deep. So as far as being from a carbine barrel or a musket barrel, those are my thoughts.
I do feel that it’s another interesting category that a few members here have enlightened us on in some other posts.
