Heritage Mfg doesn't know how to measure a revolver's barrel length
A revolver barrel length is measured from forcing cone face to muzzle face. Since there is a gap of only a few thousandths, the barrel is measured muzzle to cylinder.
One of Heritage's models...the 2-inch Barkeep .22LR....is sold as a two-inch, and barrel does extend 2 inches from the frame to the muzzle.
However, measured from cylinder to muzzle, it is 2-11/16" long. Similar discrepancy occurs with their 3-inch Barkeep.
Seems odd that an agency that would prosecute possession of a rifle barrel an eighth under 16 inches would allow a handgun manufacturer such latitude.There are two kinds of guns. Those I have acquired, and those I hope to.

Its the stock. Stocks should need registering.

Why would the ATF care about how long the barrel is on a pistol? Also being 16 11/16" would be fine on a rifle.

Anyway, I just found another part of the puzzle. In the owner's manual, they do list the correct barrel lengths.
Oh well. On to other things....There are two kinds of guns. Those I have acquired, and those I hope to.

Maybe some confusion from translating Chinese to English. (sarc)
Lower your expectations to zero and you'll never be disappointed.
