I believe the parallel section was a refinement added later as my early guns do not have that. As far as the Syracuse gun you sold I think your assessment was correct. I have a couple exactly as you describe. The Syracuse guns I have seen with 28"s have all been cut. Short barrels apparently were not popular, at that time. They thought longer barrels reached out farther. I certainly could be wrong, and have been more times than I care to remember.
