No one has done a complete records survey because of the number  of records you would have to go through but Jim Gordon did a survey of what gun survived. I just finished putting the entire survey in a Excel file and wrote a program to search for guns by feature. Out of about 4000 guns in the survey there is one 18″ 32 WCF rifle s/n 195287 in the JM Davis museum in OK. If you do the math that come out to about 180 guns made in that configuration figuring 720,000 guns. You would have to eliminate the early guns since the 32 was not out yet. That eliminates about 25 guns so your down to 155 but the real number is going to be a lot less than that. In working with the list I see the more unusual guns or custom gun were made in the middle of the production. The later guns were more standard.

Gordon had a ledger page or two in his book from the late production (clean up era) that had a lot of short barrels in them Can’t remember if there were any 18″ in those pages.
