Mal, I know the rifle well, there has always been a small mystery as to the barrel number on this one. Everything looks good to me and I think it's a fine rifle and have no idea why a 100 number from 1923 is on a circa 1925-26 rifle that normally would have had a two-digit number. Of all the numbers verses calibers in my database there are two rifles that don't fit, yours and one other. If you ever pull the metal out of the stock I would be very interested in anything that might be marked on the underside.
My pet theory on your rifle is the engraver was supposed to engrave "14" not "114". I can't prove or disprove that like I said just a theory, tomorrow I might have a new one. Too throw a wrench into the works the other number out of place is also a 404.
