It's probably a small shank. Measure the barrel nut, if it's 7/8in. long it's small shank. If it's 5/8in. it's large shank.
There's also an explanation in the FAQ section at the top of the page.

THE LARGE SHANK ALSO HAS A STEP DOWN ON THE BARREL JUST IN FRONT OF BARREL NUT THE SMALL SHANK DOES NOT HAVE A STEP.
