I suspect the .257 barrel was longer than a standard GI carbine barrel.
That having been said, the best thing would be to shorten the stock slightly.
No excuse for losing your old barrel....and I would think he ows you some $ for that...I wonder who made that barrel?..could be worth some money, and that is why he "lost" it.
