They weren't standard, they were special order. Ordering longer than standard barrels cost money ($1/inch), there was never a price listed for ordering short barrels.

I have a 24" half-octagon that lettered as 24". Fug has short barreled octagons, think Loggah does also? Seen multiple ledger entries for O and HO rifles with short barrels, but they are rare.
