What leads you to think the barrel was 'shortened'??? It has the correct taper for a 100mm barrel. The receiver does have the arty notch but that does not mean the barrel was shortened...

Can you see silver solder under the front sight band???

very interesting; at this point, it's only an assumption that it was "shortened"; I will have the pistol in possession by next week and see.. in the meantime I'll see if the owner can answer this question.
