It must be for a special application, like inside a confined space... Otherwise, I just don't see the practically of such a short barrel. What could be handier than a 20" barrelled levergun, unless it's a holstered revolver?
Up until the NFA of 1930 the Trapper was the most popular Winchester sold.

Guessing that is with a shorter than 16" barrel at the time?
