I appreciate seeing the attachment of the forearm hanger...
The frame is assuredly a long version, it is an original Old Model carbine.

I would appreciate it if someone could authoritatively post the precise barrel threading difference between a short and long receiver.

The forearm hanger is originally only soldered to the front of the frame. The screw attachment on Ed's carbine is an owner modification.
