Yes, I was also going to mention the possibility of that being a "Pope" barrel. His barrels were prized by the target shooters, even the backyard variety. ........ And back in that era a Sunday afternoon gathering wasn't complete until the men and boys retired to the backyard or the pasture and had a little informal Shooting Contest. There were many rifles made for this market, most with long heavy barrels, peep sights and chambered in .22 Short, CB or Long. .............
