While cleaning a couple of 92 and 94 carbines with shorter than standard magazines, I noticed that the magazine tube hole in the forend is drilled at an angle.  This slight angle causes the magazine tube to contact the bottom of the barrel to allow for the magazine plug to have a locking point.  Each magazine length has a different angle drilled in the forend.  Just another notation of Winchester’s ingenuity.  If this topic been discussed before, I missed that topic.  Roger B.

A lot of times on 1/2 mag carbines the end of the forearm will be marked as such.

You find variations in forearm caps on rifles as well.  Its suspected the angle of the magazine tube inlet in the wood also varies on magazine tubes long than a button magazine and shorter than 3/4 or 7/8 magazine rifles.
