No its 20", Catinthehat, didn't believe either, till he fondled it.
I am very chuffed with it.
I would be curious what run that came from??? For curiosity, would you consider PMing the first five digits of the serial number? The .44 Mag walnut/blued and a few of the stainless large bore rifles were done with 20" barrels, I am not aware of any runs of the .30-30 with a 20" barrel... are you measuring to the front of the receiver? You should be measuring to the breach face for barrel length.
