I have seen this barrel marking once before on an 1886 Winchester. This barrel marking is from an 1885 high wall in .22 LR. What could “Made To Order” mean in a .22 other than barrel twist? Has anybody seen this in a Winchester catalog, a “Made To Order” reference for barrels?
I had a Marlin Ballard , heavy barrelled, Scheutzen rifle with similar stamp “Made to order for the Marlin Firearms Co. by the Winchester Arms Co” . It was in the Marlin ballistics room for a long time.

Why not measure the twist to find out?
There is a 73 in the ledger records that letters with a Remington twist barrel

What is the serial number on this rifle? I do not remember seeing a notation in the ledger records that matches the barrel marking, but may have missed it.
