New mod 12 help

Just got a mod 12 in a B&C stock off GB, heavy barrel .223 with a G prefix serial #. trying to determine if it is a small or large shank, is the "step" on the large shank visible with the barrel nut installed? Hoping to turn this into a 20 VT for squirrels, any info would be appreciated, Tim.

I did see those pics, I just wasn't sure if that step was covered by the barrel nut.

Some are and some are not. This will do it for ya.

Thanks for the help, it seems from the lack of a step in the barrel and the longer barrel nut that I have the much less probable mod 12, G prefix, small shank guns.
