Hello
While waiting for my Mannlicher carbine to be delivered, I decided to measure the barrel length on my 2 Mauser 98 sporting rifles both are 8x57. I was surprised to find one to be 19 5/8 to the face of the action. The barrel is part octagon with machined rib & ramp, it appears original. I realize the customer could order many extras, but was it common to order such a short barrel. No wonder this rifle points so well.
Thanks Mike
