Well dang it, I have lost my info, 2 times.....

So, will keep this short

your barrel length is not correct, but it may just be how you measured it?
The lack of serial number placement and stock lug, tells me it is either an early gun, or a commercial with the stock lug ground off. Since it has been reblued, that is a real possibility.

Pictures and full serial number would help a lot, otherwise we are just guessing.
