I appreciate the reply. What's interesting (to me at least) is that mine was made this way and sold by John Rigby in January 1900 for an officer to take to war. I have the ledger entry to prove it. My understanding is that the cut down range pattern guns that you are describing came on the scene quite a bit after this and were for target shooting? I wonder how many assumed range pattern guns are actually go to war carbines or short rifles or whatever you want to call them? One difference is that mine has a 24-inch barrel and range patterns have a 25.2-inch barrel.

It ain't like it used to be, but it'll do.
