OK, on the left is the muzzle of my '06 A.E. long frame with 4 5/8" pencil barrel and proper style sight blade. On the right, we have the 6' pencil barrel in question. The sight blocks on these stick up higher from the barrel band because the early barrel bands aren't as big around as the later barrels. The distance from the center of the bore is, I contend, the same to the top of either sight block! The dovetail area of the modified barrel is undisturbed. Still needs a little cleanup...

Since earlier posts, I've decided not to worry about trying further to make it mimic a Navy-- turns out I'm happy enough with a 6" American Eagle.
