For the 73’s the short barreled rifles were special order. There was a bunch of 20" rifles that were called border guns. A lot more guns were ordered with longer than normal barrels than shorter.

The most popular "short barrel" for the Model 1892 was by far the 20 inch length. They were made by the thousands in both octagon and round barrel. Half octagon variations were also made but are far less common.
