	Agree Vall something isn't right the rifle wouldn't even be legal by ASSRA rules min. barrel length I believe is 20 inches.

	My not so precise ruler and dial calipers tell me the barrel is about 21.5" long. The octagon is 7.5" long, and LOP on the stock is 11.25" long. Forearm wood is about 8.35" long. Based on a .5" equals 3" scale.

	This just looked off to me, so I took a closer look. I don't believe the barrel measurements are valid - this appears to be a strange photo/drawing composite. Look at the front of the barrel - it appears to be a pencil or charcoal sketch, or the like. Note the shading, the too-vertical face (see pic 2, which shows the rifle seems bent, with the angle of the butt plate much less parallel to the plane of the barrel front than it should be. The barrel seems to droop toward the front. Note too, that the barrel is transparent. The line of the sleeve, markings in the coat and some bark patterns are visible through the barrel. The area around the front top of the comb and the front of the pistol grip seems sketched too. They are redder and coarser than the rear of the stock, which is greener and much more detailed. There is the more transparency - on the grip and the lever. Similar issues with the ocular. This is a puzzle.

	There ya go then. It's a rare Harry Pope glass barrel so you can just look to see if it's leading or has an obstruction, or the muzzle loaded round is fully inserted. Or, despite, ol' Red telling us about faster film- maybe it was slow photography and the so-called balanced rifle had been supported by a helping hand, now removed by the touch up work. I want it to be the glass barrel

	Photographic evidence of an early ghost gun. So we can safely date this photo after June 26, 1934. It’s clearly full auto since it empties the magazine with a single pull of the trigger.
