Re: golden era r13 barrel bore

My 1963 R13 (ser. 76xxx) has a barrel that matches the diameter of the top bore exit (14.85/14.90mm) and the barrel bore profile is parallel.
I don't believe Buffet started making R13 barrels with small reverse cone until very much later on and even then I think they were an option. I think they were introduced with the RC model.

Incidentally the top joint of my R13 appears to have a conical reverse taper and not a 2 step polycylindrical shape has anyone else found this? were Buffet experimenting with the bore at this time?
The parallel section of main bore in top and bottom joints is 14.60 mm a smidgen less than the current 14.65
