    Winchester barrel pad identification

    Looking for some clarification on the type of pad for this example.. I am referencing Babcock's Photo Essay and at times I can stare at the picks with "description" akin to a puzzle with no solution so I submit to the expert panel here.. My call is it is an "medium pad barrel." It resides on my 2.3 Win.. Thank you all..

    Here are some photos from original barrel and receiver groups, WRA s/n 102740 still has a small import stamp
    on the barrel. Early 1941 barrels had the long pads and most had the drawing number that read from the op rod
    side - but there are always exceptions

      I appreciate the photo's! This barrel is not native to the receiver but as far as I can tell is a "fit" for the serial number range. Drawing number reads from the clip latch side..
