"Up until 1941 it would have had a 22" barrel but after 1941 it would have a 24" barrel." That's what my buddy says, his 1948 is 24".
But some how my 1953 EG 250-3000 is 22"

If you read Murry, it kinda says, 22hp, yad yada, 250-3000, 303Sav are 22"
300Sav 24"
then specifies the Winchester calibers next three lines

Would like to believe mine is original somehow..??
