Curious to know if anybody out there has a lettered Model 1899CD with 22" half octagon barrel. I have never knowingly seen one. Anybody ?

I should have known! As I recall, I was suffering from Savage overload while visiting your fine collection. I apologize for the lapse in memory. Curious to know if your letter identifies a 20" or 22" barrel. Also, if you could share the serial number with an xx or via PM I would appreciate it. Thanks. John

If it's a factory lettered model 1899CD with a 22" half and half barrel 25-35 in good condition we probably could!

John
Just went to pick up a gun I bought several months ago and this thread came to mind it is a CD Deluxe with the 1903 style butt plate and has a 22" half&half in 30-30

Murray's is indicating short barrel available as option around 1912 (130,000 serial range). I wonder if there are others out there like yours in the earlier serial range 50.xxx (1905). ?? Yours would indicate the short barrel being available from the beginning of production. Maybe we discovered yet another error in the "bible". Hopefully others will comment.

wasn't the 23" highly engraved gun that Jed had around 71xxx?? Of course that was a highly custom gun and not just a single change from anotherwise stock order.
my custom CD with the letter shown earlier is just under 116xxx

The carved gun that the factory records show as sold to KING THE WOOD CARVER has a 24" half&half with no rear dovetail and that gun is 14XXX also if you look at page 3-17 in Murry for the 1899C under barrel it list 26 octagon only for the model C if you can make them longer up to 30" why not shorter to 20"??? On 22's we have seen them longer than that!!!
