Not really enough difference to see, let me see what my calipers say. Well I can't get them where I need to without some disassembly. It's only a few thousandths. Ok, I took the sideplate off a pair to get access. 3.17" on the parkerized Krag, 3.20" on the once rusty but cleaned up rifle. Might be that much difference amongst individual specimens, not sure. I also got 3.17" for a 98 receiver I had laying around. So clean up added about .030" to the internal magazine length of the ugly rifle. I measured another 98, a late one, and got 3.156".

I have one in the 15,6 range that was modified and has a 1895 cartouche. Looks like it may have been in a wet environment.Comment
