Hmm, I didn't notice that...Good catch!

I did notice that the barrel flange does not curve smoothly into the taper, but is cut/turned at an angle (rather than curved)...I don't have an old Pacific catalog with a good picture of their long barrels...Do their barrels have the angled transition to the taper rather than the curve???
