1937 Smith
If you do wind up trimming that barrel just ahead of the ejector rod lug, here's an idea: Some years back there was a dealer at some of the shows around here who had a 1917 that had been cut like that. It had a barrel-band front ramp slotted on the bottom to clear the lug and sweated on the barrel, filed down and with a dovetail cut for a big gold bead. That was one of the slickest and MEANEST looking guns I've ever seen. I tried to buy it but he wanted way more than I was able to pay.
