Could someone verify the correct length of a 03 inner magazine tube? Just got one in from Homestead and it won’t go all the way in to my Carbine. Tube measures 14 1/16” from base of knob to end. 
Thanks in advance!

Oops, bad diagnosis! Locking pin that engages the butt end of the outer tube was a little out of place and may need a bit of fitting. May be interested in knowing the diameter of that pin in another magazine tube.  Plenty of time to address that before some ammo turns up. Looks good up there in that display stand!
