Thanks for the inputs.

I have looked closely at the muzzle and it appears the shortening of the barrel was done by someone with less than the right tools. The barrel was not crowned and I am not certain how square it is. This will be another thing I will keep in mind as I go shoot the thing.

Looks like the work was done a long time ago.
