I’m just trying to figure out why they’d have done a prototype with an unstamped barrel. I have a 284 with a Chicopee Falls barrel, that kind of shows there were profiled and stamped barrels sitting around waiting to be bored and chambered.
Not the first 99 to have been reworked to a 284 aftermarket, if it was done aftermarket. Lots of work, but apparently doable.
