i am trying to find out what the barrel would measure at the receiver for a Winchester 1894 in 38-55 with a 28″ octagon barrel.And also has anyone seen an EHB that was proud to the receiver by about .020
I don’t believe that Winchester ever made an “extra heavy” barrel for the Model 1894, and certainly not one that stood proud of the receiver frame ring. If the serial number is < 354000, you should contact the Cody Firearms Museum records office and obtain a factory letter.

There is a picture of one in the Madis, Winchester Handbook, page 141.
That does not mean that it is authentic.

If the corners of the barrel stick out beyond the receiver it means Winchester didn’t put it together.

Renneberg’s book states sn 15266 letters as a deluxe, pg checkered model with an extra heavy round barrel. He eludes that this is one of two EH’s listings known.
Rapid taper, standard taper, extra heavy. All 45 caliber.
Mr 3855 I was wondering what the EH 1886 measures over the flats.If anyone has a EH 1873 measurements of that barrel would help also.
I have a 73 heavy octagon barrel. I know the muzzle od measures exactly 1″, I have never measured the flats.
Here are the measurements from two 73’s.
24″ 22 extra long extra heavy 1.041″ .985″
28″ 44 extra heavy 1.045″ .987″

It measures 1.039″ and 1.004″
86 John Madl’s website has some approximate measurements on 86’s Heavy’s and EH’s he has sampled over the years. John also told me his sampling shows heavy barrels vary in dimension more than standards weights.
Rapid taper, standard taper, extra heavy. All 45 caliber.
