I recently came across a NEF Pardner single shot that is stamped "improved cylinder" but the barrel is rifled. It's a shorter barrel. Maybe 22" with rifle sights and laminated stock. Can someone better explain this to me? Was it rifled by someone at a later date? Come from factory like this ?

Thanks

  I think they made slug guns.

  Most likely whoever was stamping the barrels that day, had a brain fart. Either that or it was stamped on a Friday afternoon or Monday morning.

  Here;s the barrels made for it.

  probably made like that from factory.
  Much easier for them to use a IC barrel and rifle it than to stop a production line to
  use an un-honed barrel to make a rifled one.
